ICC Under-19 2008 World Cup winning Indian Squad: Where are they now?

#5 Tanmay Srivastava

Tanmay was the highest run-getter in the tournament

The top-scorer of the tournament with 262 runs, Tanmay Srivastava was one of those players who showed early promise but failed afterwards. In 2009, the Uttar Pradesh southpaw was one of the better openers going around in Indian domestic cricket.

Strong performances in the Under-19 level got him a place in the Challenger Series even before he could play first-class cricket for UP. He was contracted by Kings XI Punjab for the IPL, and he followed it up with a strong first-class season, ending as UP's leading run-getter in 2008-09.

However, he couldn’t quite continue his run of form afterwards and features for Uttar Pradesh in the domestic tournaments.

#6 Saurabh Tiwary

Saurabh Tiwary failed to live up to the expectations

A left-handed middle-order batsman was one of the key members of the squad. The Jharkhand lad, who made his first-class debut in the 2006-07 Ranji Trophy, got into the scheme of things after his stellar performances for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2010.

His domestic form helped him earn an India call-up for the Asia Cup in June 2010 and “Bheem" as he is fondly called by his teammates made his ODI debut against Australia the same year. However, since then he has played only 3 ODIs for the national side.

He was bought for a hefty sum by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of IPL 2011 but he failed to live up to the expectations as he managed only one fifty from 47 matches. Then a spate of injuries forced him out of the game for some time and his career literally reached the nadir.

However, the 26-year-old gutsy southpaw made some good scores in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy to finish among the top-15 run-getters of the season. Another promising cricketer, who is trying to fight his way back.
