So I was changing channels and came across this live match between Sri Lanka and India for the u19 Asia Cup final. There is this batsmam Prithvi Shaw who is batting like a dream.. what a batsman! Dravid is apparently coaching our side!

India off to a great start. 6 overs 46-0.

[Sandeep99]

Tune into Start Sports 1.. leave the customary Lankan bashing getting dished out (which is expected).. our batting talent is living up to its name.. 

[Cricketics]

Man Prithvi Shaw is making it look simple. Looks pretty good to me at least against these bowlers.

[Sandeep99]

Prithvi Shaw looks the real deal.. how simple he is making it look!

[Cricketics]

Lankan fielders looking athletic. All diving around. Something you can often associate with the Lankan cricketers, they are usually more athletic than Indian etc though it has changed recently.

Shaw holes out in the deep. Shubham Gill a very tall batsman comes in.

[rkt.india]

[rkt.india]

Good pull shot, another boundary for Gill.

Wow.. does that mean we don't have any pace prospects at that level? Or is that a strategy?

[rkt.india]

Shubman Gill hitting so effortlessly.

dont know, probably pitches dont have anything for pacers. Dont see any pacer in this XI today. They carried only 2 pacers in the squad Paramb and Tiwary. Paramb played 2 games and picked up 3 wickets.

This Gill guy is playing some lovely strokes.. just hoping these talents get a good platform in IPL.. too good to miss out

Never seen a pitch where playing even 1 pacer is not justified...especially in a one day match where seamers always come in handy during the slog overs.

 

Must be lack of  decent pace options....which is sad.
