2018 Under-19 World Cup: Top 10 players to watch out for

#1 Bahir Shah

Unbeaten 256 on debut followed by scores of 34, 11, 111, 116, 303*, 69, 9*, 57, 19, 104 and 7, a total of 1096 runs in 12 innings at a Bradmanesque average of 121.77- these are the numbers of Afghanistan batsman Bahir Shah after his first full season in first-class cricket.

For a batsman with a minimum of 1000 FC runs, Bahir averages the most with 121.77 followed by legendary Sir Don Bradman (95.14) and Vijay Merchant (71.64). Though his numbers might take a hit in the future, it is not an easy task to overtake Bradman's average in first-class cricket.

The 17-year-old kicked off his 2018 under-19 World Cup campaign by scoring a century and a 98 against a strong Central Districts XI. It is just a matter of time before he makes his international debut for Afghanistan. But, before that, Bahir will look to do well in the upcoming World Cup.
