India has qualified for the final battle once more after a thrilling victory over South Africa in the U19 World Cup semi-finals. On the night of the final, they will face Australia, who overcame Pakistan by one wicket in the final over of the match. Meanwhile, ahead of the final, India captain Uday Saharan is comfortable and has encouraged supporters to continue to support the squad as they have in the past.
The history of India’s knockout encounters versus Australia at the senior level is troubling. The Rohit Sharma-led team fell to the Kangaroos in the World Test Championship final in 2023, and again in the ODI World Cup later that year.
However, Saharan is unconcerned about avenging himself against the Australians and prefers to concentrate on his game in order to win the final.

“I am not thinking anything like that. We are focusing on our game and we have to give our best. We are playing according to the match conditions. Every match is important because it is the World Cup and all the teams are good,” Saharan was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
“It is a dream for all of us to win this tournament. Everyone gets only one Under-19 World Cup and we want to repeat the history. We also want to register our names in history. We are focused on giving our best. I would like to tell the countrymen to continue supporting us like this. We promise to give everything to bring the Cup back,” he added.
However, Saharan is unbothered about avenging himself against the Australians and prefers to concentrate on his game in order to win the final.
“I never think about it. I don’t think about the past. I just think about how I can give my best for the team and how to get the best out of the team,” the 19-year-old said.
