The Indian team, which has won four titles by playing eight finals in the last 14 seasons, is the most successful team in the history of the Under-19 World Cup and in the final match against England to be held at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Saturday, the team intends to stamp this dominance. Will come down While India has won the title four times, England's team has done this feat only once.
Despite battling the corona infection off the field, the Indian team did not face any problem in reaching the final, which shows the talent of the players and the depth of the team. Openers Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Harnoor Singh could not make it to the semi-finals and would have to avoid playing excessively defensively in the final. Their maturity was visible in the way Yash Dhul and Sheikh Rashid handled the innings after a poor start against Australia. Angkrish is the highest run-scorer for India in this tournament, scoring 278 runs at an average of 55.60. Left-arm spinner Vicky Ostwal is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 12 wickets at an average of 10.75.
