Mount Maunganui: Having led his side to two convincing wins in the ongoing ICC U-19 World Cup, India's young batting sensation Prithvi Shaw enjoyed time off the field by getting clicked with a baby.
Impressed by his batting, former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop while commentating during India's game, said "that's Tendulkar" after Shaw launched into a front-foot drive.
For his style and technique, Shaw has in recent times often drawn comparisons with the batting icon, who had followers across the cricketing world.
