  1. ‘Prithvi Shaw is a better one-day and T20 player than a Test player’, says Muttiah Muralitharan Former legendary spinner of Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan believes that India opener Prithvi Shaw is more fitted to white-ball cricket and could be dangerous if he gets the chance on a constant basis.

But the veteran feels that Prithvi Shaw's impact in the limited-overs cricket could be similar to Virender Sehwag. And, his counter-attacking style troubles the opposition bowlers and put them under immense pressure as well. While speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Muttiah Muralitharan stated Prithvi Shaw is important to this Indian team because of his free flowing scoring ability which can help the team post huge totals.

  2. "For me, Prithvi Shaw is a better one-day and T20 player than a Test player because the way he plays is like Sehwag. He puts the bowling side under pressure and if he scores big then India have a good chance of winning because they will post a huge total within a short frame of time," Muralitharan opined. He also stated that one of the biggest qualities in Prithvi Shaw's batting is he bats without fear. The youngster, although gets out occasionally while playing a rash shot, but the legendary bowler wants the Indian team to back the youngster to play his natural game. Image Source by Twitter

  3. Muttiah Muralitharan, however, also said that the opening combination of Prithvi Shaw and skipper Shikhar Dhawan will work out well as Shaw's ability to take on the opposition will give Dhawan time to settle down at the crease. "Prithvi Shaw doesn't have the fear of getting out. That is a plus point because you need such players to win matches and India should encourage him (to play his natural game). Shikhar can go on normally and Prithvi can damage the bowling if he stays on the wicket and that is a big advantage for India," Muralitharan signed off.
