Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw compared with the great Sachin Tendulkar, as he had a batting tactic like the Master Blaster, who was the same height as him.

Mominul Haque
The southpaw is a great player against spinners, and part of his success might be attributed to his 5’3 foot height and deft footwork.
Mushfiqur Rahim
One of the greatest batters who emerged out of Bangladesh has a height of 5’3 feet. His undefeated 219 against Zimbabwe stands as the record for the highest Test score by a batter from Bangladesh.
