ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup: The prodigies and where are they now

ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2000)

Yuvraj Singh was a revelation with both bat and ball.

The tournament came to the subcontinent for the first time, and so did the trophy. India overcame hosts Sri Lanka by 6 wickets to obtain the bragging rights.

Graeme Smith led the batting chart this term while captaining the Proteas, foreshadowing an illustrious career ahead. Pakistan's Zahid Saeed was the highest wicket-taker. In the aftermath of the tournament, however, his potential failed to convert into success.

Apart from Man of the Tournament, Yuvraj Singh, names like Ian Bell, Mohammad Sami, Albie Morkel, Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, Brendon McCullum, and Tatenda Taibu were first sounded in this edition.
