As reported by The Indian Express, Ravi revealed Kohli's answer when he asked the India batter about his batting weakness. The 33-year-old didn't give a straightforward answer and instead decided to lighten up the mood of everyone in the video conference.
“I asked him what is his weakness. And he replied, ‘kyun abhi se out karne ki training kar raha hai kya’ (Why? Have you started training to get me out already, laughs)?,” the youngster said.
India are the most successful team at U19 World Cups, having won titles in 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2018 previously. Apart from Ravi's four wickets, Raja Bawa bagged a fifer in the final.
Bawa became the first Indian player to take a five-wicket haul in the final of an ICC event, as he ended the match with figures of five for 31. He was named the Player of the Match for his all-round contribution.
