Cricket fans, agar aapko lagta hai ki sirf senior team hi Australia ko unki aukaat dikhana jaanti hai, to zara hamare India Under-19 ke ladkon par nazar daliye. Ahmedabad ki mitti par Haryana ke ek ladke ne wo kehar dhaya ki Australian batters ke paas surrender karne ke alawa koi raasta nahi bacha. It was absolute dominance from the word go!
To Hua esa hai ki:
Ahmedabad mein khele gaye doosre four-day match mein India Under-19 ne Australia Under-19 ko 10 wickets se hara kar series 2-0 se apne naam kar li hai. Is jeet ke sabse bade hero rahe left-arm spinner Tanmay Baloda, jinhone poore match mein 14 wickets lekar Kangaroos ki kamar tod di. Mazedar baat ye hai ki Tanmay Baloda team mein shamil bhi nahi the, wo suspended Rohit Yadav ki jagah late replacement ke taur par aaye the, lekin unhone ise "God's Plan" sabit kar diya.
Australia ne pehli innings mein 174 runs banaye the, jiske jawab mein India ne 315 runs ka pahad khada kiya. Captain Yashbardhan Chauhan ne 52 aur wicketkeeper Abhipray Biswas ne 73 runs ki shaandar innings kheli. Jab Australia doosri baar batting karne utri, to unhe laga ki wo fightback karenge, lekin Tanmay Baloda ne unhe hosh sambhalne ka mauka hi nahi diya. Unhone doosri innings mein 8 wickets liye, jiske wajah se Australia sirf 151 runs par dher ho gayi.
India ko sirf 11 runs ka target mila, jise Lakshya Raichandani ne sirf 5 balls mein chase kar liya. Ye jeet isliye bhi khaas hai kyunki India ne pehle ODIs mein 3-0 se sweep kiya aur ab Test series mein bhi 2-0 se Australia ka safaya kar diya hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Tanmay Baloda: Match haul of 14 for 73 (6/32 in 1st innings and 8/41 in 2nd innings).
- India Under-19: Won the series 2-0 in the four-day format and 3-0 in the one-day series.
- Priyanshu Singh: Played a crucial supporting role with 2 wickets in the second innings to dismantle the middle order.
- Australia Under-19: Only Blake Cattle showed some resistance with a fighting 63 in the second innings.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
India ki bench strength sirf ek word nahi, ek reality check hai poori duniya ke liye. Australia Under-19 team yahan seekhne aayi thi, aur Tanmay Baloda ne unhe wo lesson sikhaya jo wo kabhi nahi bhulenge. Ek replacement player ka 14 wickets lena dikhata hai ki Indian domestic circuit mein kitna talent bhara pada hai. Australia ko unhi ki language mein jawab dena hamare khoon mein hai, chahe wo senior team ho ya Under-19.
