U19 World Cup 2022: Riding on fifties from Nishant Sindhu and Shaik Rasheed and a pce-bowling masterclass from Raj Bawa and Ravi Kumar, India defeated England by 4 wickets in the big final. India won a record-extending 5th title at the showpiece event.
India romped to a record-extending 5th U19 World Cup title after outclassing England in the final of the 2022 edition of the tournament at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on Saturday, February 5. Yash Dhull's men finished with an unbeaten run in the West Indies, flaunting the strength of the assembly line of next-gen India cricketers at the world stage once again.
India made light work of a 190-run target, getting past the finish line with 4 wickets and 14 balls to spare. All-rounder Raj Bawa was the star of the day for India as he picked up a historic 5-wicket haul and followed it up with a brisk 35 with the bat in a dreamy performance in the big final.
India have reiterated their status as the most successful team in the U19 World Cup, winning the title for the 5th time. Yash Dhull follows an illustrious list of captains -- Mohammad Kaif (2000), Virat Kohli (2008), Unmukt Chand (2012), Prithvi Shaw (2018) -- who have tasted success in the showpiece event in the past.
