Rajkot ke maidan par hamare Boys in Blue ne wo kar dikhaya jo har Indian fan dekhna chahta hai: Pure Dominance. Australia ki team ko bat aur ball dono se aisi shikast di hai ki unhe flight pakadne se pehle thoda sochna padega. India U-19 ne pehle Youth Test mein Australia U-19 ko ek innings aur 48 runs se harakar series mein dabdaba bana liya hai.
To Hua esa hai ki:
Khel ke teesre din hi faisla ho gaya. Lakshya Raichandani ne apni 210 runs ki overnight innings ko aage badhaya aur 240 runs ki ek aisi marathon khel dali jisne Kangaroos ke hosh uda diye. Lakshya ke saath Mohit Ulva ne 92 runs ki tabadtod pari kheli: sirf 84 balls mein 10 fours aur 4 sixes ke saath unhone Australia ke bowlers ka mental breakdown kar diya. India ne board par 494 runs tang diye, jo ki Australia ke 217 ke reply mein ek pahad jaisa score tha.
Jab Australia ki doosri innings shuru hui, to Indian spinners ne unhe chain ki saans tak nahi lene di. Left-arm spinner Ishan Om ne ek hi over mein teen wickets chatka kar unka top-order dhwast kar diya. Haalat ye thi ki Australia 17 runs par 3 wickets kho chuka tha. Blake Cattle ne ek ladaaku century zaroor lagayi, lekin dusre end se Yashbardhan Chauhan ne unki umeedon par pani pher diya. Yashbardhan ki ghoomti balls ka Australia ke paas koi jawab nahi tha aur unhone 6 wickets lekar Australia ki bachi-kuchi himmat tod di.
Analysis & Numbers
- Lakshya Raichandani: 240 runs ki epic innings, jo is match ka sabse bada gamechanger sabit hui.
- Yashbardhan Chauhan: Second innings mein 6/75 ka spell aur match mein total 8 wickets.
- Ishan Om: Match mein total 9 wickets lekar Australian batting line-up ki reedh ki haddi tod di.
- India U-19: Australia ko 217 aur 229 par samet kar innings victory hasil ki.
- Blake Cattle: Australia ke liye akela ladne wala sipahi jisne dono innings mein centuries (102 aur 123) lagayi.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ki bench strength kisi Prophecy se kam nahi hai. Lakshya Raichandani ne dikha diya hai ki technical solidness aur aggression ka combination kaise match-winning hota hai. Wahi Yashbardhan aur Ishan Om ki spinning jodi ne Australia ke batsmen ko spin playing ki coaching class de di hai. Agar Australia ko agle match mein bachna hai, to unhe sirf Blake Cattle ke bharose rehna chhodna hoga. Filhaal to India ne bata diya hai ki Rajkot ho ya Sydney, dabdaba Blue jersey ka hi rahega.
