In Rajkot, India Under‑19 rolled over Australia Under‑19 by 103 runs, 341-238, sealing the three‑match Youth ODI series with a game to spare. But the real hero was Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan, who smashed 122 off 100 balls and then picked up 2‑56 in the bowling.
The century followed a blistering 132‑run partnership with VK Vineeth. Together, they took the score from 109‑2 to 241‑3 before Vineeth was dismissed in the 40th over.
India finished on 341/7, with Vineeth 87 off 92, Sehwag 47 off 48, and Ojha adding 34 off 20 in the final 10 overs—those last 10 overs yielded 106 runs, a blistering 10.6 runs per over.
Australia chased 342 but faltered under pressure. Thomas Vaseo was the pick of the bowlers with 3‑78, while the Australian batting line‑up crumbled after Czosnek’s 81. They were all out for 238 in 41.1 overs.
The win sets India on course for the quarter‑finals of the U19 World Cup.
