U-19 World Cup 2022: 'We are all very proud', Indian cricket fraternity hails champions Yash Dhull and Co

India clinched a record-extending fifth U-19 World Cup title on Saturday by beating England by four wickets in the final.

India chased down the 190 run target, closing things out with a six with 14 balls to spare, after dismissing England, playing their first final in the tournament in 24 years, for 189.

Fast bowler Raj Bawa claimed 5-31 while Ravi Kumar finished with 4-34.

England were 91/7 at one stage before a sparkling 95 from James Yew gave them a fighting chance but India were never really in trouble with Shaik Rasheed and Nishant Sindhu both making half-centuries.

The record title win sparked big celebrations on Twitter as former and current cricketers, BCCI administrators wished the Yash Dhull-led team for its success. Here are some of the best tweets:

Congratulations to the under 19 team and the support staff and the selectors for winning the world cup in such a magnificent way ..The cash prize announced by us of 40 lakhs is a small token of appreciation but their efforts are beyond value .. magnificent stuff..@bcci

Covid hit their camp during the WC and at one point had only 12 to choose from. Yet the intensity didn't drop amidst adversity. Won every game, that too clinically. Proud of the team. Special congratulations to @VVSLaxman281, Hrishikesh, Sairaj, Manish & other staff #U19CWC pic.twitter.com/t1tQpRv3pT
