India vs Australia ICC U-19 World Cup final Live Streaming: Watch ICC U-19 World Cup final between IND vs AUS live cricket streaming online at Hotstar.com and Live Coverage on TV by Star Sports Network.
Promising to follow the clash closely on Saturday, Virat Kohli said the boys look set to win a record fourth U-19 world title.
Rohit himself had been a part of the U-19 World Cup final in 2006 where they lost to Pakistan in the final.
Under the guidance of Rahul Dravid, the Indian colts team have scaled newer heights on the cricket field and have managed to reach the semifinals of the ICC U-19 World Cup by winning all their matches in the tournament so far.
The young Indian guns would also be high on confidence, having secured potentially life-changing deals at the IPL auction with their performances in the World Cup.
Shaw is highly impressed with left-arm spinner Anukul Roy who grabbed 10 wickets so far, putting him at the top of the list of successful bowlers.
Skipper Prithvi Shaw slammed a strokeful fifty while spinner Anukul Roy claimed a maiden five-wicket haul at Bay Oval to earn India the win.
Shaw, though, missed out on a century by six runs as he was caught behind off Will Sutherland, son of former Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland.
The U-19 Indian skipper had played some sweet drives in his 94-run knock against Australia which reminded this former fast pace West Indies bowler of the Master Blaster.
Shaw was saved by a no-ball before he could be sent back to the pavilion and salvaged the opportunity to bolster the score on the board for India.
India, eager to prove themselves after their disastrous showing in the Asia Cup, open their campaign against Australia at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.
The budding boys in blue are all set to take on Australia in their first match and the young swashbuckler's aim is to win the World Cup.
Kohli is aware of teenage prodigy Prithvi's exploits in first-class cricket where he has already scored five hundreds.
The U-19 skipper joins an elite list of athletes and cricketers who have the MRF logo on their bats.
India are the joint-most successful team in the history of the tournament along with Australia (1988, 2002 & 2010).
After losing two quick wickets, Prithvi Shaw steadied the ship for Mumbai and showed great composure and determination against a probing Andhra attack.
Prithvi Shaw's magnificent scoring rate and his ability to consistently hit the three-figure mark has often drawn comparisons with master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
