Kanishk Chauhan’s slow-paced delivery on the off side to Falconer, when flied safe into the hands of Khilan Patel, that very moment, a new future unfolded for the game. A future that will not remember the limit. The India U-19 team, led by Ayush Mhatre, became the world champion for the sixth time just a few moments ago. The boys out there in Harare who will carry the tag of world champions from now on might need some time to process the matter, and they will need time to get used to listening to the symphony of it.
Over the last two years, this team has experienced both highs and lows while remaining steadfast in their pursuit of their dreams. All the struggles have transformed into a sense of relief following this high-profile game, and the trophy will bear the same name in the new year.
A statement to the world
“With great power comes great responsibility,” did the 15 members of the World Cup stand tall on that? The answer is, yes. They have not only won the World Cup, but they have also shaped a path by demonstrating how cricket will be played in the future. India has so many legends, but the ones that are in the making will be important to keep. They are the modern-day masters; they are the players who will take cricket into its next generation. It is not just about defeating England, the birthplace of cricket; it's also a statement that while cricket originated there, India will transform it into a modern version without limits, and in this new era, limitations will not prevail.

As it was the last U-19 game for them, the team will be separated, but the spirit will remain the same, which led the generational 15 talents to come at this stage and made it possible for India.
The proud 15
The dreams that take wings in childhood, when the boys in the blue felt a very strong urge to be a cricketer, they may never have thought of this moment, but as the game grew big, the dreams took shape. They became the sons of those lucky mothers who never stopped their children from flying, never stopped them from being what they are now. Vaibhav's 175 in just 80 balls, Ayush Mhatre's 53 and finishing touch from Abhigyan Kundu and Kanishk Chauhan helped India to post 411 runs on board. Powerful bowling display by Ambrish and Deenesh helped India to win the final by 100 runs.
