Former Indian cricket stars sent their congratulatory messages to the India U19 team after it clinched a record sixth title for the country, beating England by 100 runs in the final played in Harare, Zimbabwe, on Friday.
After India chose to bat first, they quickly lost Aaron George for 9 runs. However, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and skipper Ayush Mhatre built a strong partnership, scoring 142 runs together, with the captain contributing 53 off 51 balls. Sooryavanshi then took charge, scoring 175 runs off 80 balls, which included 15 fours and 15 sixes. He reached his century in just 55 balls and his 150 in 71. Late innings support from Kanishk Chouhan, who made 37 off 20, helped India to a massive total of 411/9 in their 50 overs. They then bundled out England U19 for 311 in 40.2 overs to seal a huge win.
