The
Under-19 Indian boys emerged victorious by defeating South
African boys, thereby bagging World Cup trophy. The Indian
team's miraculous performance saw the defeat of South African
boys by 12 runs. Setting a target of 116 runs for South Africans,
under the captainship of Virat Kohli, the Indian bowlers restricted
them to 103/8. Ajitesh Argal who hails from Bhopal was declared
`man of the match'. Ajitesh has played pivotal role and is
being appreciated everywhere on the occasion of winning of
Junior Team India. It is noticeable that India has got the
glory of being champion for the second time. The whole team
including captain Virat Kohli are entitled for congratulation
and appreciation. Moreover, the state capital Bhopal's rising
son Ajitesh Argal is entitled for the same. Though batting
of Indian team was not so good and the whole team was restricted
to the score of 159 runs in 45.4 overs. However the bowlers
and fielders kept this small score well. As the rain interrupted
the game, the South Africans were given target for scoring
116 runs in 25 overs. Argal in his five- over spell gave only
7 runs taking two wickets. Ajitesh remained the hero of this
win, so it was a matter of joy for not only Bhopal but the
whole country. Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced
to give Rs 5 lakh to Ajitesh. Ajitesh showed his talent and
skill in the game. He has emerged as better bowler in World
Cup cricket. He has brought laurels not only for his family
but also for Bhopal, state and country. Congratulations to
Ajitesh and it is hoped he would continue his excellent play
in future matches too. Meanwhile, Indian cricket team had
reason to celebrate when its boys notched their first-ever
one-day international win over Australia at the SCG on Sunday.
