Twitter erupts with joy as India U19 lift World Cup title

Kalra compiled an impressive unbeaten hundred, while bowlers chipped in with wickets as India Under 19 overhauled the target with eight wickets in hand to hoist the World Cup trophy

No country gives its U-19 players as much exposure as India does - Harsha Bhogle

Harsha Bhogle: Well played by India's young champions. Throughout the tournament, they played at a different level. I don't think young players in any other cricketing environment get to play as much cricket as they do in India. Not surprised they look so ready. You expect a young Indian side to bat well. And this team batted splendidly. But the big difference lay in the quality of quick bowling.

Harsha Bhogle: Australia will be disappointed with this total. Very gettable on this pitch. The Indian boys just need to ensure that the excitement of coming close to a big win doesn't come in the way.
