"I was eight years old when I met Sachin Sir and since that time, he is my mentor and I have learnt a lot of things from him... from on the field what you have to do to off the field... discipline and everything," Shaw said during an Instagram live chat with Indian Oil on Sunday.

"Now also whenever I go for practice, if Sachin Sir is there to watch me, he will talk, not much technically but mentally more so it's been a great journey for me under the guidance of Sachin Sir and lot of coaches," the 20-year-old added.

Shaw has so far played four Tests and three ODIs for India in which he has scored 335 and 84 runs respectively.
