Captain Unmukt Chand led from the front with a glorious hundred as India Under-19 lifted their third World Cup title after thrashing formidable defending champions Australia by six wickets in the final on today and make this Sunday for Indians as Super Sunday.
This was India U-19s first triumph after Mohammed Kaif and Virat Kohli led their respective teams to victory in 2000 and 2008 editions respectively. And I would like see Unmukt Chand, the shining star’ in senior Indian cricker team also.
Cricker VVS Laxman just announced his retirement from Indian cricket team. I believe Unmukt Chand is the best replacement of VVS Laxman.
Courtesy a magnificent unbeaten 111 by Unmukt and his unbroken partnership of 130 runs with glovesman Smit Patel, India overhauled a competitive target of 226 on a bouncy strip with 14 balls to spare.
It was one of the best centuries one could have witnessed at the junior level as Unmukt hit seven fours and as many as six sixes during his 130-ball knock.
