Former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh believes Delhi Daredevils opener Prithvi Shaw’s batting technique resembles that of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar. Prithvi has been in sensational form in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). so far, he has accumulated 140 runs at a strike rate of 166.66 from four games.
“The first thing you notice is his technique, it’s very similar to Sachin Tendulkar. His grip, his stance, he stays very still at the crease and plays all his shots around the wicket” Waugh said.
“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,” Waugh added.
Prithvi, aged 18 years and 169 days, scored 62 off 44, including seven fours and two sixes, becoming the joint-youngest to score a half-century in the IPL.
