Pics: Prithvi Shaw ready to fit into Tnedulkar’s shoes?

"I didn't know when I was in the 490s because I told my teammates not to tell me my score. I was batting well and I wanted to play my natural game. Once I reached 500, my teammates told me and cheered for me," the 14-year-old ninth standard student of Rizvi Springfield told reporters after his record-breaking knock against St Francis Borivali. Asked about his favourite cricketer and youngster said it was none other than Sachin Tendulkar. "Because he is humble and I like his square cut and pull shot," said Prithvi. What really surprised him was the presence of the media at the ground. "I wasn't expecting so much of media people over here," Prithvi said while talking to the reporters at the Azad Maidan after the day's play got over. Asked about his favourite shot, pat came the reply, "Cover drive."
