Uday Saharan wins POTM
The Indian captain is awarded the Player of the Match award for his brilliant 81 off 124 balls knock as he stayed till very last to boost India to their 9th U19 World Cup final.
I had a belief on myself that I can do it, just one partnership we needed and could cross the line. When the ball was new, took some time but once it became old we played our shots.
