India’s 11-match unbeaten streak at the ICC Under 19 World Cup came to an end on Sunday in Potchefstroom as Bangladesh roared (sometimes quite literally) to their first world title with a three-wicket win against the boys in blue.
In what was the battle of the two best teams in the tournament, Bangladesh just seemed to want it more badly on the day of the final as Akbar Ali’s boys dialled up their performances in all three departments to get the better of the pre-tournament favourites.
It is worth remembering that, as Rahul Dravid has said repeatedly in the past, it is not about the results at the U19 level. This is just a platform for young cricketers to make their mark and start their journey towards bigger and better things in their careers. The process and work ethic is more important for these players than medals and a trophy: it is true for all teams, not just India or Bangladesh.
With that in mind, here is a look back at how Indian players fared in the tournament in South Africa:
