The India U19 side locked horns against the England Youth side earlier today (June 24) in a 50-over warm-up game ahead of the main five-match ODI series, which begins on June 27.
Team captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting talent Ayush Mhatre alongside Rajasthan Royals (RR) sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi were the biggest names in the lineup. However, both players failed to display their mettle, departing for scores of 1(3) and 17(13) respectively. Notably, the duo was a revelation in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) earlier this year with their fearless and audacious batting.
Speaking about the game, India were reduced to 91 for 5 at one stage but the duo of Rahul Kumar 75(63) & Kanishk Chouhan 79(64) registered a big 142-run stand for the sixth wicket to make amends for the previous setbacks. It was then wicketkeeper Harvansh Pangalia, who slammed an unbeaten 103* (52) to propel the scoreboard to a big total of 444/9 in 50 overs.
