Prithvi Shaw Is A Superstar: Northamptonshire Coach John Sadler

“Humble is the perfect word to describe Prithvi Shaw. He’s gracious and respectful, he’s loved being a part of the team. We’re loving having him here as well,” Sadler said after Northants defeated Glamorgan by 6 wickets.

“His skill speaks for itself, he’s a superstar. He’s as good as I’ve seen in 25 years of playing this game. He’s up there with the best in terms of ball striking. He genuinely wants to win games of cricket and has been a star in the dressing room,” he further added.

Shaw became the first Indian cricketer to score a double-hundred in List A cricket in England. He was not even aware of the record that he created after the knock. Speaking with the Times of India, Shaw said, “Oh am I? I didn’t know that. But, it feels great and hopefully, I can score more.”

Shaw is currently the top run-getter in the tournament with 304 runs in three games. He is followed by Cheteshwar Pujara who has scored 302 runs in four games. The Indian batter is out of the Indian cricket team since July 2021.
