Twitter reacts to Prithvi Shaw channeling his inner Sachin by walking off despite umpire ruling him not out

04/27/2021

Until today, it was Prithvi Shaw’s career progression, and his Mumbai background, that triggered the Sachin Tendulkar comparisons, and today, the 21-year-old did a Sachin on the field, but not with the bat. After edging a Harshal Patel ball, Shaw walked off despite the umpire ruling him not out.

Wait a minute...

Respect Prithvi Shaw for walking on his own. Pant and Tendulkar would never. Hats off

Acknowledging the talent of Prithvi Shaw but he needs to be sensible as well. But if other youngsters get the edge over him I won't be surprised. He needs to grab the opportunities comes in his way rather throwing it away 🤕
