Rahul Dravid as a coach was the perfect role model for the Under 19 team
#4. The preparation:
Winning a World Cup in New Zealand in alien conditions was indeed special for India
For most of the young Indian boys who had played cricket on flat wickets in India, getting used to the wickets in New Zealand was indeed a challenge. Historically, all Indian teams have struggled in New Zealand and considering the challenge ahead, the Indian team landed a week before the tournament and had a couple of practice matches which ensured that they had a feel of what to expect in the tournament.
The preparations ensured that the Indian team was ready to face any opponent in the tournament and were termed as favorites right from the beginning of the tournament. India indeed lived up to the favorites tag and recorded a famous victory in the 2018 edition of the Under 19 World Cup.
