Indian batting legend and the head of National Cricket Academy (NCA), VVS Laxman, shared some words of encouragement with Uganda players post their 326-run defeat against India in the ongoing ICC Under-19 World Cup.

"Indian Legend @VVSLaxman281 visited our camp yesterday after the game and gave some advice to the boys after our game against India U-19. Thank you Laxman Bhai," tweeted Uganda Cricket Association.

Laxman said he had a fun conversation with the boys.

"Enjoyed talking to the boys, and I wish them and Uganda cricket all the success going forward," tweeted the 47-year-old.

India U-19 had a fantastic start with opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Raj Bawa each scoring a ton against Uganda at the Brain Lara Stadium in Trinidad.

In reply, Uganda got bowled for a paltry 79 in 19.4 overs to lose the match with a heavy margin.
