Prithvi Shaw has scored 40 runs at a strike rate of 166.66 in the four games he has played so far.
Legendary Australian batsman Mark Waugh thinks that the technique of young batsman Prithvi Shaw is similar to that of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar.
"The first thing you notice is his technique, it's very similar to Sachin Tendulkar's," Waugh, a Star Sports Select Dugout expert, was quoted as saying in a media release.
"His grip, his stance, he stays very still at the crease and plays all his shots around the wicket. He plays the ball quite late and is quite punchy in his stroke play and has an excellent base to play any shot from any bowler. He's just so much like Sachin Tendulkar," added Waugh, who played 128 Tests for Australia and scored 8,029 runs.
Mumbai's Shaw, who plays for Delhi Daredevils in the ongoing Indian Premier League, has scored 140 runs at a strike rate of 166.66 in the four games he has played so far.
Shaw, who is just over 18, hit a maiden half-century in his second match of the IPL and the knock made him the joint-youngest cricketer to record a half-century in the cash-rich cricket tournament.
The Daredevils are currently languishing at the sixth spot having won only three of their nine games.
Shaw has been compared with Sachin for a while now. The two players have many similarities- not only in their stance and strokeplay but also in the way they rose to fame at an early age.
Shaw was only 14 when he belted 546 in a school match. He has emulated Sachin in scoring hundreds in debut in Ranji Trophy and Irani Trophy.
Shaw became the youngest to score a fifty in IPL history. In the 4 games that he has played this season, Shaw has piled up 140 runs at 35 and his strike rate reads 166.67.
There were many on Twitter who said how Shaw reminded them of another Little Master:
