Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag mercilessly trolled the Pakistan U-19 side as India beat them by ten wickets to seal a spot in the finals of the World Cup on Tuesday. Centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal along with opening partner Saxena sealed the win for India comfortably, without losing a single wicket, as India chased down 173 runs with over 14 overs to spare. Pakistan, who is known to be India's arch-rival, was trolled by Sehwag as they lost yet again in a World Cup to India, only this time it was the young U-19 side. Defending champions India have set up their third straight final clash after beating Pakistan on Tuesday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Saxena lead India to a mammoth 10-wicket win

Indian openers - Yashasvi Jaiswal (105) and Divyaansh Saxena (59) - put in a batting masterclass as they brushed aside a below-par Pakistan bowling attack. In doing so, the Indian U-19 team made their third consecutive ICC U-19 World Cup final. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored the first ton by an Indian in the tournament. He was rightly adjudged as the Man of the Match in the win against Pakistan. India will either take on Bangladesh or New Zealand in the finals.
