Shikhar Dhawan was the Man of the Tournament and also the highest scorer in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup. He scored 505 runs in 7 matches at a whopping average of 84.16, with 3 centuries and a single half-century to his name.

Dhawan scored 155 runs in his debut match against Scotland, while he amassed 120 runs against Bangladesh and 146 runs against Sri Lanka. He also scored 66 crucial runs against New Zealand. India's campaign came to end after losing to Pakistan in the semi-finals.

Despite Dhawan's sensational outing in the Under-19 World Cup, he made his international debut fairly late, against Australia in 2010.
