Now that we are the champions of the U-19 World Cup, time to look at who from these can make the grade at the next level, the senior level. For me three players caught my eye:
1) Unmukth Chand: As a captain led from the front and his temperament and class in the final chase really set him apart. I feel he is already ready to get a chance at the international level.
2) Baba Aparijith: As the all rounder for India, Baba shone both with the bat as well as was very useful with the ball. His fielding was excellent and was an added asset in his favor. I think he has it in him to develop into that crucial all rounder position at least for the shorter forms of the game.
3) Harmeet Singh: Though I personally did not see much of this spinner from the U-19 team, Ian Chappel made this comment that this boy could walk into any of the test teams today as the top spinner barring England and that is high praise for any youngster.
Who were your picks from the U-19 World Cup?
Cheers!

Ya, there are a lot of stars coming forward .
U Chand did his captaincy very well and he batted well at important situation, he can surely be the next Kohli, he was playing very cool under pressure.
Aparijith is a good allrounder, he also played well.
I was more impressed with the Indian bowling attach.
The bowlers were consistent and took the wickets regularly.
Ravikant Singh, Sandeep Sharma were the 2 young ones I found very impressive.
Usually India are not much effective with Fast bowlers, but the bowlers in this squad were amazing.
I thin these players will surely become the next pacers for India.
Happy Mylotting!

Yes, I will also go with these three players. Unmukth Chand was too good with its bat and he led well in the front. Also Harmeet Singh was brilliant with his spin bowling. All the batsmen were a little confused with his variations of spin. Then Baba Aparijith, and he is the player who has well impressed me. He is a very good all-rounder. And I will surely put him in my team

I think Unmukht Chand and a few others have a chance to make it to the senior side in coming years. Also, they will play a key role in next year's IPL too.
