Queens Sports Club: The India under-19 men’s side virtually interacted with legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar ahead of their decisive Super Six clash against Pakistan in the ongoing U-19 World Cup.

England secured a semifinal berth with a 65-run victory over New Zealand on Friday, while Afghanistan also progressed to the last four stage with a 191-run win over Ireland. It means Sunday’s contest between India and Pakistan is now a virtual knockout, with only one team from Group 2 set to progress to the knockouts.

“In what was an invaluable experience, the next generation got insights and perspectives on the important ingredients for success and longevity in an ever evolving sport, not just limited to technical skills and remaining fit but also the importance of staying focused, disciplined, humble and rooted in success,” wrote the BCCI on its ‘X’ account on Friday.
