India Under-19s lost to Bangladesh Under-19s by 3 wickets in the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2020. The Men in Blue had a wonderful tournament as they reached the final without tasting a defeat. But Bangladesh Under-19s were clinical on the day and India Under-19s couldn't soak the pressure which denied them their fifth Under-19 World Cup title. A lot of players from the Indian team left a mark with their brilliant performances. One among them is swashbuckling opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.
