India U-19 thrash England to take 3-1 lead
Mumbai: The Indian Under-19 cricket team took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match One-Day International series, after crushing England by 230 runs in the fourth match at the Wankhede Stadium here on Monday.Riding on centuries from opener Shubman Gill (160) and one-down Prithvi Shaw (105), India posted a mammoth 382/9 after being sent in to bat and later restricted the visitors to a paltry 152 in just 37.4 overs.India started well with Gill and his opening partner Himanshu Rana (33) raising a stand of 83 before left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White managed to get the breakthrough. Mumbai batsman Shaw then joined the 17-year-old Punjab righthander in the middle and the duo raised a 231-run second-wicket stand, to leave the visitors clueless.
Gill consumed 120 balls for his innings, which was laced with 23 hits to the fence and one over it while Shaw’s knock came off 89 deliveries and included 12 fours and two sixes, which helped India post a huge 382/9.In reply, England lost three quick wickets in the first four overs to be reeling at 16/3 and could not recover from the early blows.Medium pacer Kamlesh Nagarkoti (4/31), Vivekanand Tiwari (3/20) and Shivam Mavi (2/18) broke the backbone of the visitors, as just three of their batsman managed to get to double-digit scoresBrief Scores: India U-19: 382/9 (Shubman Gill 160, Prithvi Shaw 105, Henry Brooks 2/58) beat England U-19: 152 (Ollie Pope 59, Will Jacks 44, Kamlesh Nagarkoti 4/31, Vivekanand Tiwari 3/20) by 230 runs.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
