Best XI of U19 World Cup winning players who couldn’t play for India
India won the recently concluded U19 World Cup under the captaincy of Yash Dhull.
3. Prashant Chopra (2012)
Prashant Chopra is a common name in the Indian domestic cricket setup. He holds the record for most runs scored by a Himachal Pradesh batter in a single Ranji Trophy season. He was part of the winning Indian side of the 2012 Under-19 World Cup alongside Unmukt Chand. In 2017, he scored an unbeaten 271 on the opening day of a Ranji Trophy game against Punjab.
He had to wait a lot to play the Indian Premier League as he was not considered a good white-ball player. He got picked by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL auction for the 2018 season. He played two seasons for the Jaipur-based franchise and played only one game in each season. His gameplay suits the red ball cricket the most.
He was very impressive in his initial U19 days. He is blessed with plenty of natural ability and sound technique. He also got a call from the USA to move there like his teammate Unmukt Chand did. But, he has decided to stay in India and wait for his chance.
