In a stunning display of all-round cricketing excellence, India Under-19 steamrolled Australia Under-19 by an innings and 135 runs in the opening Youth Test at Allan Border Field, Brisbane. The visitors now lead the two-match series 1-0 with one game to go.
An emphatic performance powered by Uday Saharan Deepesh, Nitish Kumar Trivedi, and Adarsh Suryavanshi left the hosts shell-shocked and underscored India’s growing dominance in youth cricket.
| Player | Role | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Adarsh Suryavanshi | Batter | 112 runs – commanding century anchoring India’s innings |
| Uday Saharan Deepesh | Batter | 89 runs – aggressive support that accelerated the total |
| Nitish Kumar Trivedi | Bowler | 4/28 – dismantled Australia’s top and middle order |
| Raj Limbani Singh | Bowler | 3/19 – lethal new-ball spell in the second innings |
This victory marks one of India U19’s most comprehensive overseas wins in recent Youth Test history. The team’s ability to dominate both with bat and ball on Australian soil signals a new generation of talent ready for senior cricket.
“We wanted to set a statement early,” said India’s captain post-match. “The pitch had some bounce, but our batters showed maturity and our bowlers executed perfectly.”
The second and final Youth Test begins on October 9, 2025, also in Brisbane. A win or draw will give India an unassailable series victory and continue their legacy as the most successful nation in U-19 cricket history.
