2018 Under-19 World Cup Final, India vs Australia: Things which went right for India

<p>

#3 Manjot Kalra and Harvik Desai's partnership

<p>

Prithvi Shaw departed for 29 and made way for the side’s best batsman, Shubman Gill, who scored three fifties and a ton in the tournament.

Both Gill and Kalra, who have groomed under the tutelage Rahul Dravid, continued to pile on runs and completed their fifty-run partnership as India cruised to 125/1 in 25 overs.

Soon Gill was undone by Param Uppal as for the first time in the tournament he was dismissed for fewer than 50, finishing with an average of 124.

Wicketkeeper Harvik Desai then stepped up and played a vital cameo providing the perfect support for Kalra's fluent century.

Desai (47*) and Kalra's (101*) unbroken partnership, which was worth 89 runs, came at a crucial juncture and led India to a comfortable win.
