Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup trophy after the 1983 final at Lord's - bringing down the mighty West Indies. And the India U-19 skipper, Ishan Kishan, would want to repeat the feat of Kapil's Devils 32 years later.

Road to the Finals
India topped Group D with wins over New Zealand, Nepal and Ireland before thrashing Namibia and Sri Lanka in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively.

West Indies, on the other hand, conceded a heavy defeat against England to start the tournament. But they staged a remarkable recovery to beat Fiji and Zimbabwe and progress to the last-eight stage where they upset one of the favourites Pakistan.
The West Indies' boys then registered a nervous three-wicket win over hosts Bangladesh in the semis to set up a final date with India.
