India Under-19s lost to Bangladesh Under-19s by 3 wickets in the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2020.

But Bangladesh Under-19s were clinical on the day and India Under-19s couldn't soak the pressure which denied them their fifth Under-19 World Cup title. A lot of players from the Indian team left a mark with their brilliant performances.
