This great victory by the under-19 cricket team of India won respect and love of millions but what stole our hearts was the great gesture of the captain of under-19 cricket team, Prithvi Shaw. The sweet gesture by the captain stole the show and our hearts too.
The under-19 boys gave the trophy in the hands of the wall of Indian Cricket Team, Rahul Dravid. With that, Rahul Dravid became the official partner of the winning side of the World Cup Trophy for the very first time.
The complete credit of this incredible win goes to Rahul Dravid for sharping the minds of our players. He groomed the boys to the top level so that they could play a different level of cricket altogether as compared to any other team playing in the tournament. And it happened as well, the Indian players outsmarted the oppositions easily just like an experience bunch of troops.
