Memories of the 2012 under-19 World Cup triumph came rushing back for Delhi-based coach Sanjay Bhardwaj on Saturday. Just like Unmukt Chand had done in the 2012 final against Australia, his other ward, Manjot Kalra smashed a sublime century against the same opponents. Kalra rose to the occasion to hit an unbeaten 101 off 102 balls as India chased down the 217-run target with relative ease to lift the U-19 World Cup title. Kalra anchored the innings after losing skipper Prithvi Shaw and the team's leading run-scorer in the tournament, Shubman Gill. Wicketkeeper-batsman Harvik Desai provided good support to Kalra with an unbeaten 47.
