Although the Senior Indian male team is wrapped in a high octane contest against the three lions in a series of five-game tests, the U19 Indian team is also in England for a multi-format tour.
The young Indian foals were seen even more in the stands encouraging men in blue yesterday (July 3), on day 2 of the current ED vs Ind 2nd proof.
The visit provided great exposure to the stars of next -generation India that were also aware of seeing their models to follow in action and witnessed the test of Captain Shubman Gill register a double ton record.
However, curiously, the legend of India and the current head of the National Academy of Cricket (NCA) VVS Laxman played a key role to ensure that young Colts were in Edgbaston.
Echoing the same line, India coach U19 Hrishikesh Kanithar revealed in a video published by the BCCI,
“VVS Laxman was fundamental to organize this. He was the one who really said it would be good to go see this game. It is definitely a special occasion for any Cricket player next to be in a testing place.”

In addition to Suryavanshi, the all -terrain Kanishk Chouhan has also caught attention with its actions with the bat and the ball. Chouhan has an amazing average of 88 with the bat in two tickets and is currently the best wickt bearer in the series with seven Wickts in his name.
The talent of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the pattern of the U19 side, Ayush Mhatre, however, has not been able to go so far, but will hope to have an impact on the remaining games of the tour.
