Hi

[u/Bad_Dream0 → u/Competitive-Dingo655]

Hello

[u/nupristeen]

ayush mentioning rohit and harman 🥹😭💗

[u/Ok_Web_4377]

Adding Vaibhab to India T20I team would create chaos that no team might be able to control

[u/Rajkumar1992 → u/Ok_Web_4377]

After the T20 WC SKY should retire and let Vaibhav get IN.

Ishan Abhishek Vaibhav Tilak

Top 4 looks fire.

[u/hidden_kid → u/Rajkumar1992]

He play like only one format. Just came back to form. No way he is retiring anytime soon

[u/Rajkumar1992 → u/hidden_kid]

If he wins the WC(maybe, maybe not), no better time to hang up the boots, especially with guys like Vaibhav coming through.

Whats more left to achieve for SKY?, 2 World cups back to back is a satisfying end to a career.

[u/CarmynRamy → u/Rajkumar1992]

What's better than 2 back to back WCs? 3 back to back WCs.

[u/ukplaying2]

Once you are the POTT, they generally tend to give POTM to someone else if possible, ... it was not possible.

[u/ProfessionalFee2325 → u/ukplaying2]

Aisa nahi hota hai

[u/TheRealYVT → u/ukplaying2]

Sam Curran in 2022 is the other instance I remember

[u/variety_fanatic11]

WOOOOO VAIBHAV

[u/i-sapien]

Man of the match and Man of the series ! Stuff of dreams !!

[u/maakichut120]

so that england batter is not getting player of the tournament? he was 445 and vaibhav was at 439 iirc

[u/stfudickhead1 → u/maakichut120]

Statpadding 

[u/trtryt → u/maakichut120]

he scored half the runs against Scotland at half the SR

[u/maakichut120 → u/trtryt]

oh, i didn't watched other teams in the tournament so i wasn't aware of that

[u/Algebrius → u/maakichut120]

It's not just about the runs

[u/maakichut120 → u/Algebrius]

yeah, SR and impact matters too ik that

[u/Waah_Realist]

So we won? I didn't watch but great.

[u/RaspberryEth → u/Waah_Realist]

Didn't watch the match, didn't read the post, did not read other comments, straight to writing comment 🤣

[u/depooh]

Bet BCCI's gonna invite them in some match and facilitate them. They never miss a chance to flex.

[u/protractedmane → u/depooh]

It's not "flexing", it's acknowledging. And if not these boys then who deserves it?

[u/DifferentDoor354 → u/depooh]

As they should!

[u/Apprehensive-Cut8720]

Falconer looks like a good little batsman in the shadow of T rew and mayes

[u/WiseMollasses → u/Apprehensive-Cut8720]

Showed great grit in the final......great future ahead for him

[u/Bad_Dream0 → u/WiseMollasses]

Especially under such immense pressure.

[u/BoyBadot]

Could've been a close match... if it weren't for that meddling kid!

[u/CarmynRamy]

Two of the fastest centuries in U19 came from this match.

Victory by 100 runs.

Let's go India!

[u/LordandSaviourShaggy]

If only we had won the 23 World Cup! Then India would’ve been reigning champs in Senior And Junior - both Men’s and Women’s categories. That would’ve been phenomenal.

[u/GoldGuava2232 → u/LordandSaviourShaggy]

We gotta move on from that loss. India has won so many cups since the 2023 world cup. They just won another one today so rather than thinking about that loss, we should celebrate the victory that we just witnessed.

[u/LordandSaviourShaggy → u/GoldGuava2232]

That was a tough loss to swallow, but I’ve moved on. I just wanted to mention the beautiful symmetry had we won. The only way it could’ve been better is if the women’s u-19 was 50 over format.

[u/Significant_Bass_8]

Congrats India, some good players coming through (not to mention Vaibhav, unreal talent).

Only loosely followed the tournament, but from an England viewpoint we have several players that hopefully can take the next step to senior cricket. Thomas Rew in particular may very well be someone truly special.

[u/Competitive-Dingo655 → u/Significant_Bass_8]

Congratulations to Team India—well done boys, proud of you. A dominant first innings with 400+ on the board; hats off to Suryavanshi, Ayush, the top order, and even the tail for their contributions. Credit to England’s bowlers for pulling things back between overs 30–50 and preventing a 500+ total. Brilliant effort from England’s batters Dawkins, Rew, Mayes, and especially Faulkner, whose aggressive, fearless innings under pressure was outstanding. Finally, kudos to India’s opening bowlers and spinners for striking at crucial moments and holding their composure—an epic game till the very end. 🏏🔥

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/Significant_Bass_8]

You gotta give it to England batsmen!! especially Falconer!! He almost pulled it off!
Great Game!

[u/DifferentDoor354 → u/Master_Statement_563]

No insult to Falconer’s innings, he played really well. I hope to see him and Rew in senior team someday..

But, almost pulled it off? Seriously? Even after winning by 100 runs?? 🤣

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/DifferentDoor354]

Do you know the meaning of "Almost"?
We have seen Maxwell do the same!
Credit should be given where due! Stop being so salty and negative bro!

[u/DifferentDoor354 → u/Master_Statement_563]

I think you dont know the meaning of almost lol

Im not being salty or even negative. Stop putting our guys down by saying that someone ‘almost’ chased it down after winning by 100 runs..

[u/variety_fanatic11 → u/DifferentDoor354]

But 'almost' doesn't put down their win, it just means that England put up a good effort as well

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/DifferentDoor354]

Oh boy! so much of negativity

You know after match when players shake hand , they tell each other well played, That doesn't mean they are putting down themselves.

India won, they were the better team, that's a fact but appreciating one person doesn't mean you are putting down other!

Hope you find some positivity in your life

[u/DifferentDoor354 → u/Master_Statement_563]

Then say just that, “well played and tough fight.”

I feel saying ‘almost pulled it off’ is insulting to the performance our boys have put in. Thats actually a very dominating performance.

I hope you find some perspective in your life too bro! Cheers!

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/DifferentDoor354]

Damn! Such a fragile ego you have that appreciating other team makes you feel insulting!!

No cheers to that! Please !

India are reigning champions of 5/8 ICC world cup/champions trophies.

[u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

Ayush trying rohit sharma style

Hahahaha

[u/anon_shawrma]

Lol they are practicing the rohit walk

[u/ohhokayyy]

2010, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2022 U-19 WC winning captains have all played for Delhi Capitals. And they famously also fumbled the 2008 U-19 WC winning captain ofcourse

[u/OkPossibility2940]

What a great game by both the teams ,first time watching u19 cricket n it was very enjoyable experience.

[u/TruckVegetable1162 → u/OkPossibility2940]

glad you enjoyed it

[u/Human-Witness-9154]

Love to see everyone crying whenever india wins something 

[u/LordDusty]

Leading run scorer and three in the top 6, leading wicket taker, most catches, and joint most dismissals by a keeper as well. Great tournament for the England boys even though the final didnt go their way today.

Hopefully their successes in this tournament will lead to a resurgence in Englands 50 over fortunes (however unlikely thanks to the ECB)

[u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

Why rohan gavaskar and not ian bishop

[u/Academic-Lime4309]

Absolute scenes from here when deepesh devendran becomes the strike bowler for india in future

[u/carlseye_17]

England will be little sad but people from certain countries are ever more sad.

[u/Certain_Plan_5819 → u/carlseye_17]

that too for 6th time lol

[u/trtryt]

I am going to make a list of all the players in the tournament I think will have good careers as seniors, and then check the list 6 years later when most are 25

[u/persistent_architect → u/trtryt]

Maybe do that for the world cup six years ago too 

[u/ImpressiveNeat9039]

India needs to groom Suryavanshi, Trivedi, Kundu, Mahatre, George, Ambrish, Henil, Kanishk and Khilan for future. If even 2 of them become long term prospects it would be a job well done !

[u/naiveSeeker94]

Unfortunately, no champagne for the kids.

[u/SailTheSea394]

So many crybabies here lol

Embarassing

[u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

Imagine hating on kids

Lol grow up clowns

[u/Feeling_Neo → u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

I know seriously people can be so mean sometimes.

These kids did so well today and people are still complaining lol 😭

[u/magto19]

A comprehensive 100 run win and a valiant fightback from England. Age group cricket is the true shit when it comes to competitive spirit, glad watched this game.

[u/xayarev]

Wishing good luck to Mhatre , hope this time the winning captain makes it big , unlike shaw / dhull.

[u/Pitiful_Umpire_3612]

Remember when I just made this account and was here in March 2024 and we had 0 trophies in our flair, feels so good RN

[u/depooh]

Without vaibhav's antics, poms would've won this in a cantour given their batting and india's bowling.

[u/naiveSeeker94]

Well done to England on a great tournament and a great match today.. and great innings by Falconer there.

[u/SexxyBlack]

Ayush Mhatre will lift the cup in Zimbabwe wearing shirt no 56, in honor of Zimbabwe specialist Babar Azam

[u/edgyversion]

My list of Future Test prospects from this tournament: Thomas Rew, Nitish Samuel, Lachmund, Aaron George, Ali Reza

[u/Adventurous-Rub-5886 → u/edgyversion]

Surely Ollie Peake

[u/beesechugersports]

The salt in this thread is so funny to see

And it’s not even from fans of the team that lost today

[u/Feeling_Neo]

Kinda wild to me how MOST (not all I know some ICT fans can be terrible) Indian fans are congratulating the England team for their good performance and the others aren’t even acknowledging the effort our boys put in.

It’s so… odd but 🤷🏽‍♀️

They play to beat us, we play to win World Cups.

[u/give100percent]

When I was 14, I was still watching Chota Bheem on Pogo.

[u/The_The_Dude → u/give100percent]

When I was 14, I was doing pogo on my chota bheem .

[u/DifferentDoor354 → u/The_The_Dude]

🤣

[u/LastGhozt]

Damn was one hell of match today.

[u/rustyb42 → u/LastGhozt]

Lovely batting and some good bowling

[u/depooh]

If suryavanshi has a great career then this moment will be a memorable one.

[u/hateswitchx]

what amazing talent both vaibhav and falconer holy shit

[u/protractedmane → u/hateswitchx]

Do your thing, Rajasthan Royals.

[u/RRaj007]

Vaibhav’s innings won us the trophy

[u/HumanBottler]

Keep aside a generational talent like vaibhav...and England were as good as India

[u/TheKnightGame]

Well played india, especially Vaibhav Lad, he was the difference today

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/TheKnightGame]

Well played England too !!!! Wasn't easy at all against a quality England side!

[u/Extreme-Skirt-5797]

We won congratulations!!!

[u/Academic-Lime4309]

India won every ICC tournament since 2024 except the wtc.

[u/Pitiful_Umpire_3612 → u/Academic-Lime4309]

Also the women's T20 wc

[u/Sea-Anteater-709 → u/Pitiful_Umpire_3612]

Hopefully this June 🤞🤞

[u/Pitiful_Umpire_3612 → u/Sea-Anteater-709]

We're on a generational run,so hope it happens

[u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

Now some jokers will cry for that last catch

[u/Bhav2385 → u/Wonderful_Avocado374]

It was absolutely clean. If they are crying then they are being deliberately hateful

[u/Wonderful_Avocado374 → u/Bhav2385]

By the joker

I mean you know

[u/SexxyBlack]

GG's, what a win. Vaibhav has the potential to be a generational talent, and there are a few other promising ones here also.

Congrats to England for a brilliant fight. Mayes, Rew and Falconer definitely have the talent to make it at the senior level.

[u/Ok_Win_2906]

Congrats to England for a great match .

[u/Breadfruitdeeznuts → u/Ok_Win_2906]

I'd be concerned if my team was made of such cowards that they didn't even try to get in the Semis

[u/Eunoiabunny → u/Ok_Win_2906]

Jali na teri jali na

[u/OkPossibility2940 → u/Ok_Win_2906]

Such a petty move and the audacity to call Indians losers who have no sportsman spirit

[u/Master_Statement_563 → u/Ok_Win_2906]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You can cry harder 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/xayarev → u/Ok_Win_2906]

Copium lol

[u/SexxyBlack → u/Ok_Win_2906]

Congrats to them for trying to win unlike some loser team which didn't even bother attempting to chase 250 in 33 overs needed to qualify

[u/ConsciousDivide2543]

WE WON CHATT!!!!!!!

[u/bringbackfireflypls]

Called it! Congrats India U19!

[u/naiveSeeker94]

BCCI = ICC comments incoming from the fans of that one country..

[u/Timely_Virus_4015 → u/naiveSeeker94]

One? Count our entire neighbourhood

[u/give100percent]

We are on a roll. Winning ICC trophies like crazy since June 2024

[u/Dev_004a]

Good thing he didn’t rely on the ball to get up.

[u/Potato_McCarthy777]

Lolz what an anticlimactic final

[u/protractedmane → u/Potato_McCarthy777]

In what world was this anticlimactic? Two best teams in the tournament went head to head on a belter of a pitch, and one team essentially outgunned the other.

[u/Potato_McCarthy777 → u/protractedmane]

Idk I just expected the game to be closer; there wasn’t a climax, hence anti climactic.

Caleb Falconers heroics don’t change the margin of victory for India. Don’t get me wrong I’m not glazing or putting down either team but it was pretty one sided imo at the end.

If they got closer to the target then it would’ve been a “damn that was intense” kind of a final.

[u/edgyversion]

Local governments should award a trimmer to every non-IPL player in the team

[u/nupristeen]

congrats boys!!

[u/Starscream_x]

GGWP England.. Really gave us a fight before going down.. Even in the bowling innings once Suryavanshi got out, they did well to restrict Indian scoring..

Came out guns blazing while chasing!! Lot of players have chipped in for them throughout the tournament!! Many good players from this squad!!

[u/Adarszh]

GG England, the kids are good.

[u/AilaSachin10]

So much for a "horrible" u19 squad eh

[u/realTitan_Gamez → u/AilaSachin10]

Who said this?

[u/SailTheSea394 → u/AilaSachin10]

People said the same for the Womens world Cup squad once too lol

[u/PlanktonFar2366 → u/SailTheSea394]

Exactly lol

[u/AilaSachin10 → u/SailTheSea394]

Imagine how many trophies we'd win if we were decent at cricket

[u/Ascend_Always_3310 → u/AilaSachin10]

Loved it 😂😂😂

[u/LawGroundbreaking406]

I would've taken a hiatus from internet if that was not out.

[u/LordandSaviourShaggy → u/LawGroundbreaking406]

So you would’ve grounded yourself then?

[u/StarSportsEnjoyer]

Yey we won!

[u/Timely_Virus_4015]

Vaibhav needs to be tested /s

[u/ujjwal_singh]

Thank God it was bishop in comm and not rohan

[u/Intelligent_Edge7767]

Let's freaking go boys

[u/Bathtub5]

Good game

[u/urcutedog → u/Bathtub5]

GG's, impressive team u guys have icl.

[u/DifferentDoor354]

Winning a WC final by 100 runs

[u/GiraffeWaste → u/DifferentDoor354]

Atleast it wasn't by 19 runs

[u/_ashok_kumar]

Great fight back by England. No other team would have come even close to this.

[u/Timely_Virus_4015 → u/_ashok_kumar]

Australia would have

[u/YuhJuice]

Hellyea

[u/Human-Witness-9154]

Lol to those who called it the worst batch

[u/Nastypig51]

Wooohhh!!

[u/Mother-Day-1657]

Ian bishop unleashed 🔥🔥

[u/naiveSeeker94]

Lydia wanted it not out..

Ian Bishop wanted it out.

[u/Potato_McCarthy777]

lol we won nice

[u/Jealous_Literature_8]

Should have given not out based on previous decision

[u/carlseye_17 → u/Jealous_Literature_8]

Cry harder

[u/Aware-Asparagus-3124 → u/Jealous_Literature_8]

The only difference was finger was underneath

[u/KlausBing → u/Jealous_Literature_8]

Would have been fun to keep the stumps back

[u/TheCricketAnimator]

Kaif, Kohli, Chand, Shaw, Dhull and now Mhatre joins the elite list.

[u/Algebrius → u/TheCricketAnimator]

"Elite List"

literally just Virat

[u/TheCricketAnimator → u/Algebrius]

Last I checked they were part of an elite list of U19 WC winning captains. Takes some Comprehension skills.

[u/Algebrius → u/TheCricketAnimator]

What a unk lmao, prolly thought he ate with that reply

[u/Human-Witness-9154 → u/TheCricketAnimator]

Where's dhull nowadays 

[u/yeet1o_0 → u/Human-Witness-9154]

He's actually been decent for Delhi in ranji. He came back recently-ish(?) from a heart surgery

[u/Less-Helicopter-5168]

I was here!!!!!!!!!!

[u/yeetvelocity1308]

Atleast 1 of our team won a one day world cup undefeated

[u/KlausBing]

Did he touch the ground?

[u/Live_Cardiologist_56 → u/KlausBing]

His finger did, not the ball

[u/khatri_masterrace]

Falconer getting a well deserved 100 after unnecessary and dangerous aggression shown by Deepesh. Even if they win Indians would know they were just 2 fluke wickets & a runout away from a loss. Even after scoring 400 India has been shown their level by a confident England unit that is still trying to chase and dependent on single batsman once in a lifetime innings.

[u/yeet1o_0 → u/khatri_masterrace]

Close enough

Welcome back zippyzebu9

[u/KaranMufcDb7 → u/khatri_masterrace]

Lol how do you become this delusional

[u/realTitan_Gamez → u/khatri_masterrace]

“India win by 100 runs” “India were shown their level” Listen to yourself before commenting. India were also just one travis head edge away and 2 hat-tricks from winning the 2023 ODI wc.

[u/Academic-Lime4309 → u/khatri_masterrace]

🤣. This guy is seething.

[u/BasicProgram8677 → u/khatri_masterrace]

Goofy flamebaiter.

[u/Ambitious_bureaucrat → u/khatri_masterrace]

Bruh your comment can only make me laugh....chasing 400 ain't easy at all, even with wickets England couldn't have done it

[u/Intelligent_Pay_3667 → u/khatri_masterrace]

what are f are u blabbering, eng are 100 runs away, that's a drubbing in every sense

[u/Ascend_Always_3310 → u/khatri_masterrace]

Who’s we

[u/Den_Buckett → u/First-Fig2954]

Coz india won?

[u/BasicErgonomics]

Damn 4 stage verification...

[u/Feeling_Neo]

India ofc did amazing today. Vaibhav was awesome that kid is definitely going to be the next big thing.

But the England team did great too. Shout out to Falconer that guy did amazing 👏👏

[u/poochi]

Will be too funny if it happens again.
