Looking back at the Man of the Series from each edition of the U-19 World Cup

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea

#2 2002- Tatenda Taibu, Zimbabwe

Kenya v Zimbabwe: Group B - 2011 ICC World Cup

Zimbabwe’s Captain in the 2002 U-19 World Cup donned all the possible hats that there is to don on a cricket field in the event.

Not only did he astutely lead the team, he also pitched in with an all-around performance for the side, picking up 12 wickets whilst scoring 250 runs. In between his bowling stints, he would keep the wickets as well and rightfully earned the Man of the Tournament award for his varied skills.

Taibu turned out for Zimbabwe in both Tests and ODIs in 2001 and finished his career aged just 29.
