Jaiswal scored 88 off 121 balls in the final against Bangladesh on the back of his unbeaten 105 in the semifinal against arch-rivals Pakistan. He ended the tournament with four half-centuries and one hundred to his name and scored at least a half-century in all but one match in this tournament.

Runs scored by Jaiswal in ICC U-19 World Cup

Interestingly, Jaiswal has now joined his seniors Shikhar Dhawan (505 runs in 2004), Cheteshwar Pujara (349 runs in 2006) and Tanmay Srivastava (262 runs in 2008) as the only Indians to have scored the most runs in a single U19 World Cup edition.

Also, the 18-year-old southpaw is now the 2nd-highest run-scorer from India in a single edition after Dhawan who still holds the records for the most runs scored by anyone ever in World Cup history.

Interestingly, in the 6 matches he played, Yashasvi hit a total of 10 sixes thus surpassing Tadiwanashe Marumani of Zimbabwe in the list of batsmen to hit the most sixes in this tournament.

Meanwhile, leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi finished the U-19 World Cup with 17 wickets, the highest in the tournament and also the most by an Indian in the tournament.

Ravi Bishnoi vs Bangladesh

The 19-year old from Jodhpur produced a sensational spell of spin bowling with his googlies spelling doom for Bangladesh batters.

Defending a paltry 177, defending champions India needed quick wickets but Bangladesh made a steady start with openers Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan taking them to 50/0. Then Bishnoi came and wreaked havoc as his googly removed Tanzid off the fifth ball in his first over. He then bowled Mahmudul Hasan Joy, trapped Towhid Hridoy in front and had Shahadat Hossain stumped.

His figures at the end of 10 overs read 4/30.
