Prithvi Shaw is often referred to as an amalgamation of Virender Sehwag, Brian Lara, and Sachin Tendulkar.
Known for being funny and witty, former India opener Virender Sehwag has again got fans laughing after he shared another cryptic post in praise of youngster Prithvi Shaw.
The young Indian lad had slammed 43 off just 24 balls in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. It was Shaw's innings that actually gave India the perfect start which helped the visitors make a mockery of the Lankan's set target of 263. The Men in Blue chased down the total in 36.4 overs (with 14 overs to spare).
Shaw especially in the first six overs was absolutely unforgiving and Sehwag's post on the same made a slot of sense.
"Aj humara jalwa raha pehle six overs" Sehwag captioned the post in which he is standing alongside Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar.
Shaw is often referred to as an amalgamation of the three legends and in the past several experts had said that Shaw has a bit of Lara, Sehwag, and Tendulkar in him.
As for the clash, Shikhar Dhawan led the side towards victory and even lauded India's young brigade. He said Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan effectively finished the chase in 15 overs.
Chasing 263, Shaw smacked 43 off 24 while Kishan, who came in at No. 3, made 59 off 42 to set up India's huge win.
"When we batted, it was great to watch Prithvi and Ishan from the other end. I was telling them to take it easy, it's a great strength to have them. The way the young boys play IPL gets so much exposure, their confidence level is very high," Dhawan said at the post-match presentation.
"The way Prithvi and Ishan batted, they finished the game in first 15 overs. After that, we were just knocking around. I thought about it (his hundred) but there were not many runs left. So the focus was on being not out. Even when Surya came in and batted, it looked so easy. I was like maybe I have to improve my skill."
