TIL Desk Sports/ Comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar and counselling from Ricky Ponting have motivated and toughened up the supremely talented Prithvi Shaw for anything top-flight cricket could possibly throw.
Having reminded Mark Waugh of Tendulkar’s technical proficiency, Shaw on Tuesday said he would try to live up to the Australian batting great’s words.
Mumbai boy Shaw, who led India to the Under-19 World Cup triumph in New Zealand, has made a mark while turning out for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
“Obviously it feels good. I can’t compare myself to Tendulkar, because he has already played and done with his 25 years of international career and scored 100 hundreds.
So, it’s not easy. I have not even stepped in international cricket. So, it’s obviously a big thing for me. I hope to make his words come true and keep scoring runs,” Shaw said.
