Yashbardhan Chauhan took 6/75 while Ishan Om claimed 4/62 after Lakshya Raichandani’s 240 as India U-19 crushed their Australian counterparts by an innings and 48 runs to maintain their domination on Tuesday. The Indian Colts had earlier crushed Australia U-19 by 3-0 in the Youth ODI series which preceded this two multi-day matches affair. The writing was on the wall for Australia after India U-19 took a massive lead of 277 runs in the first innings, posting 494 after Raichandani’s double ton and half-centuries from Chauhan (54) and Mohit Ulva (92).

The right-handed Raichandani eventually finished on 240 from 281 balls, clobbering 24 fours and four sixes in his marathon knock which shifted the outcome of the game. If Chauhan did the clean up job of bundling out Australia’s innings late in the game, it was left-arm spinner Om who dismissed the specialist batters with none having an answer to his left-arm orthodox spin.
