8 youngsters who remind us of legends

Prithvi Shaw - Sachin Tendulkar

The man of the moment. Having impressed with the bat and captaincy during the recently concluded ICC U-19 World Cup, followed by an impressive string of performances during the IPL, Prithvi Shaw has hogged the spotlight. With a stunning domestic season for Mumbai, many have compared his prodigious talent with that of Sachin Tendulkar, who also burst onto the scene very early in his career. Much the same as young Sachin, Prithvi has the tendency to take the attack to the opposition.

Having modeled his game to that of Sachin's, Prithvi plays the ball late and is quite punchy in his stroke play. His excellent base allows him to play all the shots in the book scoring all around the park. Although slightly vulnerable in defense, with a little fine tuning, Prithvi has tremendous potential to become an all-time great.
