'Idea was to play every ball on its merit': Adarsh on 76 vs Bangladesh

Adarsh Singh

In India's 84-run win over Bangladesh to kick off their men's U-19 World Cup campaign, opener Adarsh Singh played a crucial role by overcoming a slow start to make an impressive 76, taking his team to 251-7, which was enough for the triumph.

India were 31-2, but Adarsh grinded hard to overcome the early struggles. He hit six boundaries in his knock while stitching a crucial 116-run stand with captain Uday Saharan (64). "Feels great [on winning Player of the Match award]. I expected some movement early on, idea was to play every ball on its merit. When we lost two wickets early, the chat with Uday was to not try something big.

"Boundaries are big here so we just wanted to rotate strike, convert 1s into 2s. We've played with these guys in the Quadrangular Series in India. There was no specific plan against any bowler," said Adarsh.
