That's a wrap - The curtains fall on another edition of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Several future stars have announced themselves on the world stage, and if history is anything to go by, many of these names will soon be lighting up the senior game. As the transition from boys to men continues, the focus now shifts to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which gets underway on Saturday, 7th February. A triple dose of action awaits. The tournament kicks off with Pakistan taking on the Netherlands, followed by Scotland facing West Indies. Later in the day, the spotlight turns to India as they begin their campaign against the USA. We hope you enjoyed our coverage of the Under-19 World Cup, and we look forward to your company as the Men's T20 World Cup kicks off soon. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Moment of glory - Ayush Mhatre is now invited to collect the coveted trophy. He calls his teammates onto the stage, and together they soak in the moment before Mhatre lifts the trophy aloft. One by one, every player takes a moment to embrace the trophy and savour a memory that will last a lifetime.

The champions are up next - Ayush Mhatre and his boys walk up to the stage to collect the winners' medals. Mhatre says he cannot quite express his feelings and calls it a memorable day for the team. He praises the boys for executing the goals they set and for playing their natural game, something that makes him extremely happy as captain. Speaking about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the Indian captain says there are simply no words for that innings. He adds that the team knows how fabulous a batter Sooryavanshi is, and today he showed exactly what he can do on the biggest stage. Mhatre talks about carrying forward India’s legacy, referencing World Cup triumphs led by Rohit Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur, and says this win is their way of adding to that legacy. He also heaps praise on the support staff, highlighting the hard work and hustle they have put in over the last few months. Mhatre signs off by thanking the fans watching at home and sends a message to keep supporting the team, promising that they will keep winning trophies for them.

Time for the runners-up to receive their medals - Thomas Rew, after collecting his medal, walks over for a chat. The English skipper begins by admitting that it was always going to be a tough challenge once a player like Vaibhav found his rhythm, saying the team was left scratching their heads at times. He notes that England had done their homework and planned to rely on their change-ups, an approach that had worked for them against India in the past, but praises Vaibhav, who batted brilliantly. Reflecting on the conditions, Rew says they had expected a bit more assistance after opting to bowl, but felt that knowing the target would help them manage their tempo during the chase. Rew also praises the effort from his batters, singling out Caleb Falconer for an unbelievable innings and Dawkins for contributing valuable runs in the beginning. Reflecting on the chase, he says the side was excited to go out and express themselves, enjoy the contest, and while they fell short of the target, they still had a good time out in the middle. He concludes by saying the occasion meant a great deal to him, and expresses gratitude to his parents and supporters both at the venue and back home, describing that as very special.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's day out - The power-packed left-hander is adjudged the Player of the Final as well as the Player of the Tournament. He finishes the competition with a strike rate of 169.49, scoring 439 runs in 7 innings at an outstanding average of 62.71. Vaibhav begins by saying he cannot express his feelings right now, crediting the collective hard work put in over the last six to eight months by both the players and the coaching staff, who consistently kept a close eye on the group. He dedicates the award to the support staff, praising their behind-the-scenes efforts. He adds that the team did not burden themselves with pressure, instead kept focusing on keeping things simple and sticking to the processes that had worked for them throughout the tournament. He further shares that the preparation had been solid coming into the competition, not just from the Asia Cup but over the last eight to nine months, with everyone putting in the hard yards. He mentions that the group was fully aware of the work they had invested during that period. States that trusting his own skills gave him the belief that he could deliver in the biggest games.

Time for the presentation ceremony....

India's batting effort - After opting to bat first, it was the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi show that powered India’s batting charge. For England, the dismissal of Aaron George was their only moment of joy in the opening exchanges, before Sooryavanshi unleashed a full-blown onslaught. Pace or spin, it made little difference as the bowlers were treated alike. Sooryavanshi brought up a breathtaking 55-ball hundred and carried on to score a stunning 175, the highest individual score by an Indian in Under-19 World Cup history. After removing Sooryavanshi, England were able to find a bit of footing in the game, but India still finished with 411.

Refusal to throw in the towel - The collapse set the English team back in the chase, not because of the required run rate, which was still achievable, but in terms of wickets in hand. Caleb Falconer batted admirably with the tail, striking the ball cleanly and sending it to all parts of the ground. Even as wickets fell around him, he remained undeterred, kept fighting hard, and eventually brought up a well-earned century. You do not get the opportunity to play in World Cup finals every day, and Falconer made sure he made the most of his moment on the biggest stage.

Chase recap - With a mountain to climb, England had nothing to lose and had to keep going. India’s new-ball attack hit hard lengths consistently up front, testing the English openers early on before Ben Dawkins broke free. Ben Mayes and Thomas Rew also took the attack to the Indian bowlers, but not for long enough. Once Dawkins was removed, India seized the momentum and went on a roll. Dawkins' departure triggered a slide as England slipped from 174/3 to 177/7.

The talented all-rounder is next in line - Kanishk Chouhan says he is always ready to perform whenever the opportunity comes his way. He adds that the message from the head coach was to stay calm, be yourself, and play your own cricket. Mentions that the team knew England would come hard at them in the chase, and in those moments, it was important for the bowlers to stay disciplined.

A word from the stylish opener - Aaron George begins by saying that it hasn't sunk in yet. On being asked about Vaibhav's batting, says that he outbatted England out of the game, and it was a brilliant team effort overall. Speaking about the celebrations, he mentions that nothing has been planned yet and that they would see what unfolds, focusing on enjoying the moment together. He concludes by saying that this is a great achievement for them and that the team is extremely proud to have made the country proud.

The head coach is up next - Hrishikesh Kanitkar says that it is a great feeling to be back here once again, having been in this position before. He adds that for the boys, this victory will be truly special. He praises England for the fight they put up. Kanitkar also highlighted the role of the Centre of Excellence, expressing happiness at seeing the continued development of young players under the structure, with VVS Laxman heading the programme.

Time for the flash interviews - Abhigyan Kundu is the first one to have a chat with Rohan Gavaskar. He admits that they felt the pressure for a bit when England were going at a good run rate. But says they just kept their calm and backed themselves. Credits the bowlers for the way they bowled was extremely good. On the emotions, Kundu says they are going to celebrate the win and says that the hard work has paid off. Highlights they had a heartbreak in the previous edition against Australia and ended up as runners-up and adds that they will enter the next World Cup as the defending champions, which makes them feel extremely proud.

India Reclaim the Throne - They were unable to defend the title in 2024, with Australia denying them on the big stage, but India are back at the summit once again. A record sixth Under-19 World Cup crown underlines their dominance at the youth level and signals the arrival of yet another generation ready for the highest stage. England played their part in a memorable final. They showed character with the ball to hang in there amidst the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi onslaught, and then fought hard with the bat. That resistance was led superbly by Caleb Falconer, whose brilliant ton ensured England’s fight shone through right to the end.

Kanishk Chouhan To Caleb Falconer OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! The Boys in Blue have done it. Chouhan fires it full around off, Falconer shuffles back to manufacture room and steer it into the off side, but the ball only finds the edge. It flies towards backward point, dips teasingly in front of the fielder. Khilan A. Patel throws himself forward to pluck it just inches above the turf. India erupt in celebration, but the third umpire steps in to check whether the catch was taken cleanly or if it's a bump ball. The replays confirm it travelled straight to the fielder, and Khilan ensured his fingers were safely underneath the ball as he completed a clean catch. So, the verdict goes in favour of India as OUT loads on the giant screen. Falconer is on his haunches in absolute dismay. The celebrations start in the Indian dressing room and the joy knows no bounds in the blue camp. A couple of Indian players uproot the stumps and pick them up as keepsakes. INDIA WIN BY 100 RUNS!

Gone? The celebrations have begun in the Indian camp, but they will have to wait. The third umpire is called in to check the catch and if it was a bump ball.

40.1

Kanishk Chouhan To Caleb Falconer

FOUR! He keeps going on and on! From around the stump, Kanishk bowls a low full toss, on the stumps, Caleb Falconer quickly changes his stance and reverse ramps it over the short third fielder for a boundary.
