2018 ICC Under-19 World Cup: 5 players who contributed to India's triumph

Manjot Kalra

The centurion from the final

Providing the necessary support to skipper Prithvi Shaw at the top of the order was the young 19-year-old lad from Delhi. Ending as the third-highest run-scorer for India with 252 runs in 6 matches at an astounding average of 84, Kalra mostly played second fiddle when the captain was batting alongside him.

However, when it mattered most, in both matches against Australia, he played like a monster, scoring 86 runs in the group stage match and then 101 in the final, becoming only the second Indian batsman to score a hundred in a World Cup Final. A member of the formidable top order of India, he also scored a vital 47 against Pakistan in the semi-finals.
