"Terrific Player Like Virender Sehwag": Michael Clarke's Huge Praise For India Batter

Former Australian captain Michael Clarke expressed his admiration for young Indian batter Prithvi Shaw and even compared his aggressive style of batting to former Team India opener Virender Sehwag. Clarke explained how Shaw, despite his poor outings in Australia last year, has so much to offer with what he brings to the table. Shaw, who has quite often spoken about the positive influence of Ricky Ponting on his batting, has been in and out of the Indian side due to his inconsistent outings. Clarke specifically mentioned that he loved Shaw's "brand of cricket" and termed him as a "terrific player".
