The senior Indian team faced a humbling defeat against Australia in their second Test at Adelaide. On the same day in another part of the world the Under 19 team has taken the field to bring glory to the nation. The India U19 team is engaged in a crucial battle with Bangladesh U19 in the final of the Asia Cup 2024 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

India won the toss ahead of this game and opted to field first. Mohammad Amaan would have pinned his hopes on the lead pacer Yudhajit Guha to give a good start with the ball and it is exactly what he did. 

Guha Stuns Bangladeshi Batter With A Stunning Delivery

On the first delivery of the seventh over, Guha bowled a stunning delivery to Siddiki Aleen. It was a good length delivery by Guha that was angling into the batter from the off stump line. The line and length of the delivery invited Aleen to defend the ball off the front foot. However, after pitching the ball straightened a bit instead of going with the angle. This outfoxed the batter as the ball crashed into the stumps and ended the stay of the Bangladeshi opener.

The delivery Guha was a real treat to watch. It reminded many fans of the brilliant skills that the star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah posseses. The late deviation on the delivery after pitching requires great skill to be executed and is something Bumrah is an expert at. Hence the brillian show that Guha put forward induced many fans to draw comparisons of the young man with the great Indian bowler.
