The Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw is trending a lot on social media; the exact reason for this is that a picture of a footballer went viral on social media where he was seen donning an Indian cricket jersey naming Shaw. Recently, the Indian Test team met the entire Manchester United team at Carrington before the fourth Test against England in Manchester. In accordance with the occasion, the players from both sports exchange jerseys.
The footballer wearing the jersey named Shaw is being referred to as the jersey of Prithvi Shaw, but the reality is quite the opposite. The player is a Manchester United player whose name is Luke Shaw, and the jersey was worn by him as a part of an event not in favor of showing support to Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw.
Indian players including skipper Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Karun Nair, Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, and Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir wore the jersey of Manchester United. Whereas on the other hand, Manchester United players like Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Amad Diallo, and Luke Shaw donned Indian cricket jerseys.
Photos of the players went viral on social media like a fire. Especially the one in which Luke Shaw wore the jersey named Shaw on the back, which sparked confusion all over the internet. Many believed that it was in favor of Prithvi Shaw, but now it is made clear there is no reference of the Indian cricketer to the jersey donned by the footballer. This event turned out to be the most famous crossover between two famous sports.
