Young Indian opener, Prithvi Shaw's poor-run in the Tests continues, as he was dismissed for an ill-fated duck on Day 1 of the opening day-night Test against Australia, at the Adelaide Oval, on Thursday. He was cleaned up by seamer Mitchell Starc on the very second ball of the game, with no score on the board for India.

It was the first time that he had fallen for a duck in the format, while he has failed to score even 20 on four occasions in the last five innings. Naturally, fans were not happy with the 21-year-old lad, as they took to Twitter to slam his poor run, despite getting off to a promising start during his initial Tests. Here are some of the tweets:

India are off to a stagnant start, as they finished of 41/2 at the dinner break. Shaw, along with Mayank Agarwal (17) are the ones to be dismissed, with the latter falling to fellow pacer, Pat Cummins.
Brief scores: India 41/2 (Pujara 20; Cummins 1/3) vs Australia.
