The Indian U19 team led by Yash Dhull made the country proud after they won the U19 Asia Cup after beating the Sri Lanka U19 team in the final in Dubai on Friday, December 31, 2021. The match had to be curtailed due to rains.

Sri Lanka captain Dunith Wellalage won the toss and chose to bat first, but the decision came back to haunt them. Indian spinners Kaushal Tambe (2/23) and Vicky Ostwal (3/11) routed their batting as they managed just 106/9 in 38 overs when the rains came down heavily.

Yasiru Rodrigo top-scored with 19, while Raveen de Silva made 15 and Sadisha Rajapaksa made 14 runs.

India got a revised target of 102 to chase in 32 overs and they did it with 9 wickets in hand. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 56* and Shaikh Rasheed made 31* as India U19 reached the target in 21.3 overs.

This was India U19’s record eight Asia Cup title in nine editions. Rasheed and Harnoor ended the competition as the top-two leading scorers with 133 and 131 runs in four matches, respectively.

The BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah led the congratulations for the India U19 team on Twitter.
