Prithvi Shaw, the captain of the Indian U-19 cricket team, who delighted cricket lovers with his impressive performance in the Under-19 World Cup is once again winning the internet. But this time, for a rather adorable reason. In a recent video, the young captain was spotted cuddling, playing with the babies and happily posing for his fans.

Shaw is often compared with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar for various reasons. For starters, both the cricketers are identical when it comes to the state they belong to and their height. Sachin used to be an opener and so is this young Turk. Recently, when India played Australia and beat them, Shaw was adjudicated the Man of the Match for his 94. A certain shot was compared with the straight drives Sachin Tendulkar used to play.

Young Shaw’s career has got off to a dream start after he slammed 5 centuries in 9 First Class matches, which is surreal, to be honest. This young lad is only 18 years old and is rated as one of the promising cricketers. Cricket purists are already talking highly about this young cricketer and rightly so. He has played two knocks in the ongoing U-19 Cricket World Cup, and the scores are healthy, 94 and 57*.
