India Win U19 World Cup: Dinesh Bana does an MS Dhoni – There was an uncanny resemblance between MS Dhoni and Dinesh Bana. The legendary Indian captain scored the winning runs in 2011 World Cup with a six and Bana, another wicketkeeper-batsman repeated the feat, hitting six to score the winning runs in the U19 World Cup on Saturday.
Yash Dhull & Co beat England by 4 wickets to lift a record 5th U19 World Cup trophy. Although Dinesh Bana did not score 91 to lead India to victory, he came at a situation when India lost quick wickets. But he lifted the pressure off with a six and followed it with another off a James Sales delivery to hit the winnings runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
