Abhigyan Kundu 209* Leads India to Big Victory in Under-19 Asia Cup | CricLegacy

India Under-19s completely dominated Malaysia in their India Under-19 Asia Cup clash in Dubai, cruising to an emphatic result that underlined an India U19 massive win in Group A. Batting first in this India U19 group stage match, the India Under-19 team piled on a daunting 408 for 7, a clear case of India U19 batting domination built around Abhigyan Kundu 209*.

Report by ESPN, Kundu walked in at No. 5 as early as the 11th over and stayed put till the very end. His knock—209 not out off 125 balls—was the backbone of India’s innings, forming a truly dominant batting display. Support from Trivedi (90) and Vaibhav Suryavanshi (50) kept the tempo high, while the Malaysia U19 bowling effort struggled despite Muhammad Akram 5 for 89, with Abhigyan Kundu 209* anchoring everything.

The chase never really took off. Malaysia were bundled out for just 93 as India U19 beat Malaysia by 315 runs, sealing one of the most lopsided results of the Youth Cricket Asia Cup. Medium-pacer Deepesh Devendran 5 for 22 summed up a clinical bowling performance, turning the match into a formality after the platform set by Abhigyan Kundu 209*.
