"Win Is Very Special": VVS Laxman Reacts To India's Record-Extending 5th U-19 World Cup Title
India won a record-extending fifth ICC U-19 World Cup title on Saturday, defeating England by four wickets in the final at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Chasing a target of 190 runs, India reached 195 for six in 47.4 overs. Lauding India's victory, National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman called it a "special" win and also noted how the young cricketers faced adversaries like Covid-19. Speaking after the victory, Laxman said, "Firstly huge congratulations to the selection committee. It was a new selection committee and quite challenging for them to identify this group. After that, the coaching staff with Hrishikesh as the head coach, Sai Raj, Munish, and all the support staff, the way they got this group together, they worked really hard, won the Asia Cup and the preparation for this World Cup was fantastic."
