Summary
Chand, Ravikant Singh top individual lists
Townsville, August 26: After a 16-day tournament, the Indian colts lifted the 2012 ICC Under-19 World Cup. Their journey to the top was a testing one. After losing their first group encounter to the West Indies, India U19 bounced back and how. Maintaining a clean slate thereafter, the Unmukt Chand-led team toppled the likes of Zimbabwe and Papua New Guinea with ease. However, they had a close shave in the quarter-finals against Pakistan, where they got home with just one wicket in hand. After that, Chand and co faced the Kiwis in the semi-finals, and won that match by nine runs.
The finals against hosts Australia was when the captain himself came to the party and scored a memorable match-winning century. Chand was well supported by Smit Patel, as India U19 chased down the 226-run target to claim the ICC Under-19 World Cup for the third time.
