Shaw Turns Comedian
Shaw’s amusing commentary during the game drew attention, particularly when he humorously observed the internal squabbles among his Indian teammates. Despite their struggles against the foreign players, Shaw maintained a light-hearted demeanor, even as he lay on the ground missing goals.
He affectionately referred to his teammates as “Mere Lagaan ke bhaiyon,” drawing parallels to the storyline of the movie where Indians triumph over British adversaries. Shaw’s comedic approach to the football game brought laughter to the team, with his witty remarks creating a jovial atmosphere amidst the players.
