U19 WC Finals: Will India avenge Rohit defeat against Aus? India is poised to clash with Australia in the U19 World Cup final, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown. As anticipation mounts, India's captain, Uday Saharan, finds himself confronted with questions about seeking vengeance for the senior team's past defeats against Australia.

The upcoming title clash marks a rematch of the senior men's ODI World Cup from the previous year, where Australia emerged victorious over India in Ahmedabad, claiming their sixth title. Adding to the sting, the Aussies also inflicted heartbreak on Rohit Sharma's men in the final of the World Test Championship.

Despite the narrative of seeking retribution, Uday Saharan adopts a composed stance, emphasizing that revenge is not the driving force behind their preparation. Instead, he underscores the team's focus on their own game plan and the present moment.

"I am not thinking anything like that," Saharan asserts. "We are focusing on our game and we have to give our best. We are playing according to the match conditions. Every match is important because it is the World Cup and all the teams are good."

As reigning champions, India enters the final with an unblemished record, having dominated every match in this edition of the tournament. Their journey has been marked by commanding victories, showcasing their prowess and resilience on the field. Despite encountering minimal challenges along the way, their narrow two-wicket triumph over hosts South Africa in the semifinals served as a testament to their tenacity and ability to perform under pressure.

With the stage set for an epic showdown, India's U19 team is poised to demonstrate their mettle and determination, aiming to etch their names in the annals of cricketing history with another triumph on the global stage.
