Stay True To Yourself: Varun Aaron

Former India pacer Varun Aaron called upon Under-19 cricketers to be themselves as they represent the country in the upcoming U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia.

“Under-19 cricket is about expressing yourself. There is always pressure to perform at any level, even from Under-14s, but the coaches with this group just want the boys to play with freedom and show their natural game on the field. Those Under-19 years never come back, so this is the stage where they should simply be themselves," Aaron said on JioStar.

Harvansh Pangalia shone bright with a stellar 93-run knock, leading India U19 to a 25-run victory over South Africa U19 via the DLS method in a rain-affected series opener in Benoni on Saturday.

Pangalia's impressive innings, alongside R.S. Ambrish's 65, helped India post a challenging 300 in 50 overs.

Despite a strong start by South Africa, India's bowlers, led by Deepesh Devendran's crucial wickets, kept the hosts under pressure and secured the win.
