The BCCI has announced a total cash award of Rs 7.5 crore for India’s ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup-winning team, technical staff and selection committee.
India clinched a record sixth U19 World Cup title after thrashing England by 100 runs in the final at Harare Sports Club. Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi starred with a sensational century as India posted 411/9, with Ayush Mhatre and Abhigyan Kundu also contributing.
England’s reply faltered despite Caleb Falconer’s 115. The triumph completed a rare double, with India holding both U19 men’s and women’s World Cup titles.
