“Yeah, I have been following U-19 World Cup. There were two close semi-final matches, especially the Australia-Pakistan match. The Aussies were nine down but managed to pull back like they do in big moments. It’s good that these guys learnt it from a very young age,” he said, speaking exclusively to IANS.
“Also India-South Africa game was close. South Africa failed to put pressure despite taking four early wickets. India made a great comeback and won the semis. Yeah, it shows... amazing depth India have in cricket. It will be an interesting final.”
