Saqlain Mushtaq said while talking on Saqlain Mushtaq show, “It looks like a 30-year old is playing when Prithvi Shaw is playing, such is his maturity. It didn’t seem like it was his first match when he scored his maiden Test century. Credit goes to Indian Cricket, BCCI and I will give a lot of credit to Rahul Dravid, who is looking after India’s batting. It was looking like he was playing with Rahul Dravid’s mind. Prithvi Shaw was batting but it was Rahul Dravid’s mind in the middle”.
