Chauhan’s all‑round heroics seal victory for Indian U‑19

In a tightly contested Youth One‑Day encounter, India’s under‑19 side emerged victorious over Australia by a margin of seven runs. Yashvardhan Chauhan’s 54 off 34 balls set the platform, while his 2 for 28 spell in the death overs broke the Australian chase.

Opening partner Aryaveer Sahni contributed 28 off 26 balls with five boundaries, and wicket‑keeper‑batsman Anvay Dravid added a quickfire 38, featuring two fours and three sixes. The fifth‑wicket stand of 69 runs between Chauhan and Rahul Dravid’s son lifted India from a precarious 88/4.

Australia’s chase was anchored by captain Jack Josnek’s 55, but the final over bowled by Mohit Ulva delivered just three runs, sealing a thrilling win for India.
