Prithvi Shaw recalled that in the early years of his domestic career, he avoided eye contact with his then Mumbai coach Chandrakant Pandit.
Now a seasoned hand and captain of Mumbai, Shaw has worked up the courage to interact with Pandit on equal terms. Pandit is now the Madhya Pradesh coach.
Speaking on the eve of the Ranji Trophy final between Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh here, Shaw said, “After five years, I could make eye contact with Chandu sir (laughs). It wasn't like this in 2016-17 when I played (under Pandit for Mumbai). Everyone knows that Chandu sir is a tough man. It was nice to see him after a long time. We just met briefly — said 'hi, hello’.
