U-19 World Cup 2022: Raj Bawa, Raghuvanshi star as India thrash Uganda by 326 runs;
U-19 World Cup 2022: India’s batting power was once again a hot topic at the 2022 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup, as they posted a massive score of 405 on their way to ending the group stage with three wins from three matches. With 944 runs scored across those three victories, the Indian batters have lit up the tournament over the opening couple of weeks.
Two of the three highest individual scores in tournament history were set today. Raj Bawa’s imperious, unbeaten 162 broke the all-time record, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s 144 was the third-highest total ever.
Bawa smashed eight sixes in his record-breaking knock and it gives him a tournament average of 108.50 so far. And although India entered this one as heavy favourites to beat Uganda, the manner of victory serves as a warning to the rest of the teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals.
