An utterly dominant India won a record-extending fifth U-19 World Cup title here on Saturday, beating England by four wickets in the final of an extraordinary campaign that was almost derailed by a COVID-19 outbreak.
”Extremely proud of our young cricketers. Congratulations to the Indian team for winning the ICC U19 World Cup,” Modi tweeted.
”They have shown great fortitude through the tournament. Their stellar performance at the highest level shows that the future of Indian cricket is in safe and able hands,” the prime minister said.
