Virat Kohli does not need us, we need him: Bumrah
Bumrah, however, stressed that Kohli knows his cricket better than anyone else and that his experience of batting in these challenging conditions was essential from the team’s perspective.
The Indian Under -19 team have lifted the International Cricket Council (ICC) U-19 World cup thrice — first in 2002 under the captaincy of Mohammad Kaif, then in 2008 under the leadership of current Indian skipper Virat Kohli and finally in 2012 when Unmukt Chand was the captain of Men-In-Blue.
Now if on Saturday, Prithvi Shaw and his boys manage to outperform the Australian squad, then Shaw will become the fourth Indian captain to do so.
Indian Under-19 team will face Australia in the World Cup final on Saturday. So far the Indian team has remained unbeaten and they will be high on confidence with their grand win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the semi-final.
