“He (Prithvi Shaw) is extremely valuable in IPL cricket. I’d go all out for him if I were at the auction table since he doesn’t seem to mind going out. He’s brave, and he doesn’t think about himself.”
“He’ll knock three fours in a row to reach 48, then aim to hit the following one for a six to reach 54. With such harm they do at the top, these players are invaluable “On ESPNCricinfo, Manjrekar stated.
