Future looks bright for the boys who showed great maturity, high skills to win Under-19 World Cup
Despite little age-group cricket in India for the past two seasons due to Covid-19, the India under-19 team notched up a nine-game unbeaten run, clinching two back-to-back tournaments. "It was an outstanding achievement by the boys. Hats off to them for winning two major tournaments - the Under-19 Asia Cup (in UAE) and then the World Cup in span of a month. Considering that we had hardly two-three months' time to prepare, it's a great achievement," India Under-19 chief selector Sridharan Sharath told TOI on Sunday. The way this bunch conquered an outbreak of Covid-19-six players were infected at one point in the league stage, forcing India to barely find 11 fit players for the games against Ireland and Uganda - is an inspiring tale in itself. Sharath gave credit for keeping the boys motivated in this low phase to batting legend VVS Laxman, who was in the Caribbean in his capacity as the National Cricket Academy head, and the team's coaches - head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar and bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule, both former India players.
Story of India's U-19 World Cup captain Yash Dhull: Another emerging cricket star from Delhi
Yash Dhull, who was on the brink of missing the biggest tournament of his promising career due to Covid-19, days after starring in India's U-19 World Cup opener. Having experienced the worst symptoms out of the five players who tested positive on the eve of India's second U-19 World Cup game against Ireland, the captain ended up missing the remaining leagues games. It would be normal for any teenager to feel shattered under the circumstances but here was Dhull, who resorted to shadow-batting in his seven-day isolation in Trinidad besides visualising himself on how he would play in the matches against Ireland and Uganda. The scheduling of the quarterfinal also helped, as he, along with others, was able to recover in the nick of time for the quarterfinal against Bangladesh where he made a crucial 20 not out in a low-scoring affair. The 19-year-old from the busy Janakpuri neighbourhood in West Delhi, followed that up with a match-winning hundred in the semifinals.
