The Indian Under-19 Cricket team created history today by winning the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. This was the second time that India won the world cup held for the junior cricketers of the world after lifting it for the first time in 2000. Interestingly, both the times when India have won, the tournaments have been held in Asia (in 2000, it was held in Sri Lanka).
India have been rewarded handsomely for some consistent performance all during the tournament. India is the only team to have won all their matches in this entire tournament. Their performance has, in fact, been so emphatetic that until the semi-final match of the tournament, they had lost less than 5 wickets in each of their matches.
The BCCI has responded by awarding each member of this victorious Indian team a sum of Rs. 1.5 Million. Congratulations! to the young stars of Indian Cricket. Wait to hear more about these guys in the years to come...
