India’s Under-19 team has created history by defeating Australia at home. Under the captaincy of Ayush Mhatre, the Indian youth team won the two-match Youth Test series 2-0. What makes this victory special is the second Test match, which lasted only 886 balls and ended, that is, Team India won the match within two days. In this way, India broke the 30-year-old record and set a new record of winning the Youth Test match in the fewest number of balls.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s brilliant performance
Young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi performed brilliantly in this series. He scored a total of 133 runs in two test matches, which also included a century. This innings of Vaibhav proved important in strengthening the foundation of the team. Along with them, the strategy of captain Ayush Mhatre and the lethal bowling of the bowlers also pushed the Australian team completely on the back foot.
