Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first in the first Test against the mighty Australians at Adelaide. However, the decision came biting to the “Men in Blue” as opener Prithvi Shaw headed back to the pavilion in the second ball of the match. Pacer Mitchell Starc got the better of the 21-year-old Indian with his in-swing delivery which was bowled on a good length.

Prithvi Shaw’s early wicket opened the troll gate for the netizens to take a jab at the young cricketer who was selected in the team above Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. Not only Shaw but Indian coach Ravi Shastri was also severely trolled on Twitter. 58-year-old Ravi Shastri once said that he sees glimpses of Sehwag, Sachin, and Lara in Shaw.

Twitteratis Troll Ravi Shastri and Prithvi Shaw





What did Ravi Shastri exactly said about Prithvi Shaw?

Ravi Shastri, back in 2018, said that Prithvi Shaw reminded him of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Brian Lara. Young Prithvi Shaw was crowned as the “Man of the Series” for his sublime performance against the West Indies in India’s two-match Test series against them. Debutant Shaw scored 134 runs in the first and 70 in the second. Citing Shaw’s brilliant knocks against the Windies, Indian coach Shastri said “When I saw him first, he reminded me a bit of Sachin, and a bit of Viru – and when he walks, there’s a bit of Lara.”
