New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated the India Under-19 cricket team after it won its fifth Under-19 World Cup, defeating England by four wickets in the summit clash at Antigua’s Sir Viv Richards Stadium.
PM Modi said that he was proud of India’s young cricketers while adding that the Indian colts’ stellar performance at the highest level shows that the future of Indian cricket is in safe and able hands.
“Extremely proud of our young cricketers. Congratulations to the Indian team for winning the ICC U19 World Cup. They have shown great fortitude through the tournament. Their stellar performance at the highest level shows that the future of Indian cricket is in safe and able hands,” PM Modi tweeted.
This is for the fifth time that Indian youngsters have clinched the ICC Under-19 World Cup, two more than the next best, Australia (3). Previously, India won the tournament in 2000, 2008, 2012 and 2020. England, on the other hand, were in the final for the first time since 1998, when they defeated New Zealand for their first, and thus far only title.
