ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea
Is he the next big all-rounder for India?

Anukul Roy is the most impressive all-rounder in Indias under-19 squad right now. His contribution was pivotal in India winning the two group stage games effortlessly.

He picked up nine wickets in two back-to-back games against New Papua Guinea and Zimbabwe. His spell against the former consisted of a brilliant five-wicket haul, for which he was presented the Man of the Match award.

He affected the two most important dismissals of the final when he sent Jonathan Merlo and Param Uppal back to the pavilion. Both these batsmen were well set in the middle and were taking the match away from India's grasp. It was Roy who broke their partnership and swung the momentum in India's favour.

No doubt, the 19-year-old is extremely promising in terms of talent. The question is, can he unleash it on the big stage soon?
