Chapter 35: 3 Wickets Down
The cheers of the 26,000+ fans were deafening for the players who had never experienced such an atmosphere.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore was the venue where the final was being played.
The stadium had been filled to the brim as this was the peak of youth cricket in India, and it was a Sunday.
The match was between the heavyweights, Delhi U19s—who had won the competition 7 times—and the underdogs, Mumbai U19s.
The match was a no-brainer for anyone watching it that Delhi U19 were the favorites.
They were led by a young prodigy named Virat Kohli, who was already making waves in the domestic circuit.
But why were they still watching a match that seemed to be already set in stone? Because people liked the story of underdogs winning.
