· Sports · Indian Express, Times of India, Sportstar
India's U-19 Asia Cup winner Aaryavir revealed that around 2,000 Pakistan fans in the stands cheered for him during the final in Oman. Aaryavir earned player of the tournament honours after scoring three fifties and a century across the campaign, including a 58-run knock off 61 balls in the title clash. India secured a thrilling one-wicket victory over Pakistan at Al Amerat to lift the trophy, overcoming a lower-order collapse. Aaryavir stated in a video call with his father Virender Sehwag that he would undergo an MRI upon arriving in Delhi on Sunday. The win marked a reversal of last year's final result, where Pakistan had defeated India.
Why it matters
The victory highlights the resilience of India's lower-order batsmen in high-pressure regional cricket fixtures and secures the U-19 Asia Cup title for the national team.
