Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw has faced a challenging couple of years, battling injuries and a loss of form that led to him being dropped from the national team.

But he has revealed that there was only one Indian cricketer that called him during this difficult period. And it's not someone you would expect.

Speaking to CricTracker, Shaw revealed that Sachin Tendulkar continued to show faith in his abilities.

"Sachin paa called me just once or twice when I was going through a tough time and that really helped me a lot," Shaw said.

"When I was going through a tough time, when I was dropped from the team, he showed faith in my abilities."

Tendulkar, the legendary former Indian cricketer, is considered one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game. His backing of Shaw, despite the latter's setbacks, shows the faith he has in the 23-year-old.

Shaw's revelations also show that, in spite of his struggles, he still has the backing of someone considered a superstar in his country.

The young cricketer acknowledged that sports can be a ruthless world, but appreciated the support he received from Tendulkar.

"In sports, there are so many ups and downs," he said. "I have had a few disappointments in my life, but I am happy that someone like Sachin paa showed me a lot of love and respect."

While Tendulkar's phone call would have meant a lot to Shaw, it also reveals the former cricketer's humble nature. Despite being at the top of his game and regarded as a legend, he didn't hesitate to show support for a struggling fellow cricketer.

And for Shaw, it's a sentiment that will linger. "That's how it is," he said. "There is no shame in going through a tough time and it shows you how much you have to go up."
