To win the tournament, India pulled off their second highest successful chase in U-19 World Cups, after the 226 to beat Australia in Townsville in 2012.Captain Unmukt Chand had led that chase with a sublime century, and on Saturday another Delhi boy,Manjot Kalra, reprised the feat
India captain Prithvi Shaw and coach Rahul Dravid hold the World Cup trophy, Australia v India, Under-19 World Cup, final, Mount Maunganui, February 3, 2018
Rahul Dravid on Saturday finally got his hands on a World Cup trophy after his boys beat Australia in the final of the ICC U-19 World Cup final.
Dravid had previously missed out on a World Cup title on two
occasions - once as a player in 2003 and another as coach of the U-19
team in 2016. Not one to be swayed away by emotions, Dravid, in typical
style, had some wise words for his boys, who were busy celebrating
India's historic fourth U-19 World Cup crown. Speaking after India's
comprehensive 8-wicket win, Dravid hoped the memory of a junior World
Cup win won't define careers of his team. The former India captain said
he wanted his players to create bigger and better memories for
themselves.
Captain Prithvi Shaw joined the likes of Mohammad Kaif (2002), Virat
Kohli (2008) and Unmukt Chand (2012) in leading India to the U-19 World
Cup title.
