2018 Under-19 World Cup Finals: India vs Australia, 5 talking points 

<p>

#3 A World Cup final hundred from Manjot Kalra

<p>

With Shaw and Shubman Gill stealing the limelight in the batting department for India, youngster Manjot Kalra was often thrust into the sidelines, even though he had pitched in with crucial knocks in the tournament.

But with the departure of Shaw, the Delhi player stepped up when the stage demanded and held the other end up. Displaying maturity, first in his 60-run partnership with Gill and then in his partnership with Harvik Desai, the opener raced away to a memorable hundred in just 102 deliveries.

The knock, with eight boundaries and three sixes, took the game far away from the Australians reach and it was only befitting that he replicated Unmukt Chand’s feats, who too had scored a hundred against the same team in 2012.
