Yadav and Gani claimed four wickets each to skittle the opposition out for 88 after Scotland opted to bat first in the league match. Opener Andrew Umeed rallied on to make 44 before being the ninth wicket to fall as India sliced through the Scotland lineup. Scoring 16 runs, lower-order batsman Gavin Main was the only other batsman to reach double-digit numbers for Scotland. Chama Milind and Avesh Khan claimed a wicket each as the Vijay Zol-led side bowled the opposition out in 29.4 overs. 

Chasing the sub par total, India lost Akhil Herwardkar in the first over with just a single on the board and were left reeling on 22 for five. But Sarfaraz and Deepak Hooda rescued the innings to take India across the line comfortably. Sarfaraz was unbeaten on 45 while Hooda made 24 not out as the Indian colts attained the target with 165 balls to spare. 

India Under-19s 92 for 5 (Sarfaraz 45*, Hooda 24*) beat Scotland Under-19s 88 (Umeed 44, Gani 4-28, Kuldeep 4-28) by five wickets

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

As the longest serving and illustrious cricketer of modern times — 199 Tests in 24 years of Test cricket — Sachin Tendulkar has had the pleasure of having more teammates than any of his contemporaries such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Brian Lara. (Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara.
