Harmeet Singh’s family on cloud nine after India’s Under-19 World Cup win

Skipper Unmukt Chand blasted an unbeaten century as India beat defending champions Australia by six wickets in the final to win the ICC Under-19 World Cup at Townsville in Australia.

It was a proud moment for the family of seamer Harmeet Singh who hails from Mumbai. The delighted family feels their son uplifted their head.

This was India U-19s first triumph after Mohammad Kaif and Virat Kohli led their respective teams to victory in 2000 and 2008 editions respectively.

Courtesy a magnificent unbeaten 111 by Unmukt and his unbroken partnership of 130 runs with glovesman Smit Patel, India overhauled a competitive target of 226 on a bouncy strip with 14 balls to spare.

Harmeet Singh took six wickets in the tournament.

It was one of the best centuries one could have witnessed at the junior level as Unmukt hit seven fours and as many as six sixes during his 130-ball knock.
