Team India suffered a defeat in the final of the U19 World Cup 2024. The Kangaroos defeated the Indian team by 79 runs in the title match. This also shattered India’s dream of becoming U19 World Champion for the sixth time.
Australia defeated India in the final for the third time in the last 8 months. Previously, the Kangaroos had also defeated India in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. Last year itself, Australia had defeated India in the final of the ICC World Test Championship. In such a situation, Australia has destroyed India’s dream of winning the ICC trophy for the third time.
In Sunday’s final in Benoni, South Africa, Australia had given India a target of 254 runs after opting to bat first. In response, the Indian team was unable to play the entire 50 overs and was forced to score 174 runs. Meanwhile, a video during the game goes viral.
In the viral video, India’s Naman Tiwari tells his fellow batsman Murugan Abhishek that you will lose but you will learn. Fans really like this thing about Naman. The video of this conversation between Naman and Murugan is becoming viral on social media.
Tiwari says to Murugan:

Australia, batting first, posted a challenging score of 253 runs for seven wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. However, this was the highest final score in the history of the U19 World Cup. In response, the Indian team was exhausted after scoring 174 runs in 43.5 overs.
The Australian senior team had extended its wait to win the ICC trophy by defeating India in the final of the ODI World Cup in Ahmedabad on November 19 last year. Now his junior team prevented the last-time champions India from winning the U19 World Cup for the sixth time. Last year, Australia had defeated India in the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
