MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli Pose For Picture With Prithvi Shaw. Fans Love The Caption
MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, India’s former and current captain, were all smiles in a picture with teenage batting sensation Prithvi Shaw, who amazed his fans on Instagram with a brilliant caption. “Yeh BHAI log jaisa koi Hard ich nahi hai (No one is as tough as these two),” Prithvi Shaw wrote, taking inspiration from a latest hit song lyrics “Tere bhai jaisa koi. Hardich nahin hai” from a recently-released Bollywood movie ‘Gully Boy’.
A fan compared Shaw with batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, saying: “Tu Sachin sir ke jaga lega.”
The 19-year-old opening batsman later posted the same photograph on his Instagram story, saying: “My all time great finishers of the game”.
Shaw made his India Test debut in a match against the Windies at Rajkot in October last year. He smashed a 154-ball 134 on his debut and followed it up with another century in the subsequent Test in Hyderabad.
Shaw suffered an ankle injury and was ruled of the Test series in Australia, which India won for the first time in 71 years and 11 attempts.
However, the young batsman returned to form as he guided Mumbai to a fourth straight win in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, hammering Goa by six wickets in a Group C game of the T20 tournament in Indore last week.
Mumbai rode on Shaw’s blazing 71 off just 47 balls to reach the target of 140 with 10 balls to spare. Shaw, who struggled in the last three games, finally found momentum and registered his first fifty of the tournament.
