Chennai Super Kings’ youngest talent, Ayush Mhatre, successfully captained the India U19 side to a commanding 58-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the Super Six stage of the ICC U19 World Cup. The win secured India’s place in the tournament semi-finals, where they will face Afghanistan.
Although Mhatre fell for a duck with the bat, his leadership and contribution with the ball were crucial in defending the target of 253. India’s spin trio, including Mhatre, played a pivotal role in restricting Pakistan to just 194 runs. The victory was set up by a gritty batting performance anchored by Vedant Trivedi (68) and boosted by a late blitz from Kanishk Chouhan (35).
Mhatre’s ability to guide the team through a tense chase scenario, especially after a mid-innings batting wobble, underscores his potential as a future leader. The dominant performance ensures India enters the knockout stage with significant momentum.
