Sachin Tendulkar’s advice to Prithvi Shaw after Australia tour: Don’t make too many changes

India tour of Australia 2020-21: India’s Prithvi Shaw had a forgettable tour in Australia last year and it was Sachin Tendulkar advice that helped the opener work on his batting ahead of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Mumbai captain Prithvi Shaw has been a sensation in the Vijay Hazare Trophy this season and has scored three 150-plus scores including a 227 not out against Puducherry, and has helped Mumbai set up a final against Uttar Pradesh in the white-ball domestic competition. It was after a forgettable Australia tour, with a zero and four runs in the first Test in Adelaide, that the young Prithvi Shaw found his groove with the bat again. In 7 innings, in the Vijay Hazare trophy, Shaw has recorded 754 runs averaging an exceptional 188.50 with a strike rate of 134.88. With his 165 against Karnataka, in the semifinal of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Prithvi (754*) went past Mayank Agarwal’s tally of 723 runs - which was the previous best aggregate in the competition. And the Mumbai captain still has a final to go.
