India's young gun Prithvi Shaw, unfortunately, got out and missed his maiden IPL century by just 1 run. Shaw played a breathtaking innings as scoring 99 off just 55 deliveries and Twitter was quick to praise Shaw for this special knock and restarted their love of comparing him with some legends.

Feeling nostalgic already?

A young short boy from Mumbai opening the innings and getting shaky in his 90s. We have heard that story before.

Shaw for World Cup?

Am I the only one wondering why Prithvi Shaw is not in consideration for the World Cup? Knows English conditions too.

Prithvi Shaw now third batsman in history to miss a century by one run after Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli.

Raina was unbeaten.
