"A dad is someone who holds u when u cry, scolds u whn u break d rules, shines with pride when u succeed & has faith in u when u fail #thankudad," wrote Prithvi, 17, who scored his fourth century in five first-class matches as Mumbai reached 264 for 6 against Odisha at stumps on Day One of their Ranji Trophy match in Bhubaneshwar yesterday.

Interestingly, Shaw has just 593 Twitter followers at the moment. But with time, and given his cricketing excellence, that number is sure to swell big time!
