Uday Sharan and the Indian team
IND vs AUS U19 World Cup Final: The Australian team defeated India in spectacular fashion in the final of the 2024 U19 World Cup. The Australian team won the toss and decided to bat first, which proved to be correct. Thanks to Harjas Singh’s innings, Australia gave India a target of 254 runs to win, following which the Indian team scored 174 runs. This shattered the Indian team’s dream of winning the U19 World Cup for the sixth time. After the match, Indian team captain Uday Saharan made a big statement.
Uday Saharan said this
After the defeat against Australia in the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, Indian captain Uday Saharan said that I am proud of the boys. He played really well. Showed good fighting spirit throughout the tournament. We played a few hurried shots today. Other than that, we didn’t spend much time at the crease. We were prepared, but couldn’t execute the plan properly. We made a mistake here. There was a lot to learn from this tournament, from the coaches and even during the game itself. We will try to keep learning and getting better. I just want to learn everything I can from this tournament and advance my career.
India got off to a bad start
First up, Australia scored 253 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs, with the help of Harjas Singh’s half-century and Oliver Peak’s useful contribution in the death overs. This was the highest score ever achieved in the U19 World Cup final. The Indian team got off to a very poor start against Australia. While chasing the target, Team India lost opener Arshin Kulkarni to himself in the third over. He returned to the pavilion having made just three.
Batsman flopped
After that, Adarsh ​​​​Singh and Musheer Khan tried to stay at the wicket for some time. But Musheer was eliminated after scoring 22 runs. After that, Team India’s batting power fell apart like a pack of cards. Uday Saharan was out for 8 runs, Sachin Dhaas was out for 9 runs and Priyansu Molia was out for 9 runs. India had lost four wickets for 68 runs. But after that, opener Adarsh ​​​​Singh (47) and lower-order batsman Murugan Abhishek (42) showed effort but these players could not lead Team India to victory.
