Prithvi Shaw hit a fine Test century on debut against the Windies on Thursday. Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was among the several past and present cricketers to lavish praise on the youngster Prithvi Shaw.
“To me, being talented is one thing but what you do with that talent becomes more important. If you want to succeed at the international level you’ve got to be a fast learner. And Prithvi is a very good learner. When somebody has to perform and sustain at this level, and play cricket at different conditions across the world for a long time to come, adaptability becomes the critical factor. I feel he has the knack to adapt to different situations and conditions. To me, that is Prithvi’s biggest strength,” Sachin Tendulkar told Times of India.
With his maiden ton, Prithvi also became the youngest Indian to score a Test century on debut. Shaw, at 18 years and 329 days, reached the historic three-figure mark off just 99 balls against the Windies on Day 1 of the opening Test at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot.
