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.
6. Abhishek Sharma (2018)
Abhishek Sharma was part of the team that won the 2008 Under-19 World Cup under the captaincy of Prithvi Shaw. Before that tournament, he led India U19 to the Asia Cup title in December 2016. He has played U19 cricket for a span of two-three years. Abhishek Sharma idolizes the Indian veteran Yuvraj Singh and follows him a lot.
Even before the World Cup in 2018, he had already made his List A debut for Punjab in Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was one of the heroes from that World Cup. He was picked by Delhi Capitals right after the tournament and he made his IPL debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore in that IPL season. As of now, he has not got so many chances in IPL.
The Punjab all-rounder has a bright future ahead of him. He is just 21 years old and will get many opportunities in the coming years. He has played 22 IPL games and has scored 241 and has picked seven wickets. He has been brought back by SRH in the mega auction.
