"Surely he has an English cat or dog..." Vaughan wrote while tweeting the video.

"Still in diapers yet has a better technique than most club cricketers," Fox Cricket wrote while sharing the video.

Social media users latched on to the video like hotcake and among scores of comments, there was one saying the kid had better footwork than Virender Sehwag.

Another user asked under-fire India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant to contact the kid. Many also said it reminded them of a young Sachin Tendulkar.
