New Delhi [India], Feb 4: The Prithvi Shaw and his boys created history as men in blue became the first team to win four Under-19 World Cup titles, beating Australia by eight wickets on Saturday. This Indian side went one step ahead of their predecessors from 2016, who finished as finalists, by not just clinching the title but also maintained a clean unbeaten record throughout.

From a team full of impressive youngsters, the opener from Chandigarh has made the most impact. Gill has numbers by his side - 418 runs at an average of 104.50 finishing second on the batting charts. Beyond the numbers, Gill looks an exciting young batsman with nearly all the shots in his repertoire - a pre-requisite of the times he's playing in, when praise and brickbats come in abundance.

There have been handsome pull shots in front of square and the cheeky lap hits too, and a big hundred against Pakistan to leave a lasting impression on the minds of the viewing public. He began well in the final too, stitching a vital stand with Manjot Kalra for 60 run
