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?

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.

These players making '99' look good!

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

Raina was unbeaten.#DCvKKR #IPL2019
