Uday Sahran (Rajasthan): Although the Indian team’s captain is from Shri Ganaganagar, Rajasthan, he was able to establish himself in Punjab thanks to some noteworthy performances. In November 2023, he captained the team in the U-19 Challenger Trophy, where he amassed 297 runs in only four games.

Musheer Khan (Mumbai): Sarfaraz Khan’s sibling from Mumbai, the Mumbaikar has already launched a stellar career. The left-arm orthodox bowler, who can also hold his own with the bat, is a reliable choice for bowling all-around. At the ACC U-19 Asia Cup, Musheer also managed to make a heroic fifty-score against Bangladesh in a losing cause.

Arshin Kulkarni, an all-rounder from Maharashtra, is undoubtedly one of the most exciting young players available. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest young players available because of his elite bat and ball skills, and the Indian team will be depending on him to advance in the competition. During the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, he made headlines for Maharashtra by driving from Mohali to Indore after a game in order to support his team in winning the match. Additionally, he debuted in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Adarsh Singh (Uttar Pradesh): The Kanpur-born opening batsman’s success on the local circuit has earned him a spot in the team. He is also one of the players that has been chosen for the UPT20 League. At some time in the future, he hopes to emulate Kuldeep Yadav and open the door to the senior Indian team.

Aravelly Avanish (Telengana): Known for his potent hitting style, the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter received a bid from the CSK team in the just finished auctions. The Hyderabad-born batsman has established a solid reputation for his powerful hitting, particularly during the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, when he amassed 274 runs at a strike-rate of 148 in 6 games.

Innesh Mahajan (Uttar Pradesh): The youthful hitter has established himself playing in the club circuit, where he has consistently scored large runs for the team. He is from the Wonders Cricket Club in Noida. Unfortunately, he finds himself in a tough situation since he hasn’t scored many runs for the India U-19 team.

Priyanshu Moliya (Gujarat): The young batter from Rajkot has previously represented Baroda in the first class and has been doing well in the format. After playing seven games, he has amassed 479 runs at an average of 47.9, including two hundreds and a fifty. He intends to try to maintain the same level of performance throughout the U19 World Cup.

Rudra Patel (Gujarat): The batsman has been establishing himself as a big run scorer, particularly after his double-century against Himachal Pradesh in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. Despite this, he hasn’t had many opportunities to play for the India U19 team because he hasn’t shown that he can be effective with the bat in the international format.

Murugan Abhishek, a left-arm off-spinner from the Iqbal Cricket Academy in Telengana, will be looking to make an impression in the event. He is also a useful batsman in the lower order. Mostly used as a bowler, Murugan will be looking to take full advantage of the South African conditions in order to aid his team. In an unfortunate match, he managed to lead the Indian scoring chart with 62 runs against Bangladesh in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup.

Dhanush Gowda (Karnataka): The young man from Bengaluru has already established himself as a Maharaja Trophy participant. He participated in the Challenger Trophy with the India D team as well. He has only participated in two games, so he will want to take advantage of any chance he gets.

Raj Limbani (Gujarat): The youthful bowler has made a significant impression on the Indian team, taking seven wickets in the U19 Asia Cup encounter against Nepal. The Baroda bowler was chosen for the World Cup team after finishing with 10 wickets in three games.

Madhya Pradesh’s Saumy Pandey, a left-arm off-spinner, is the team’s vice-captain and has made it to the Indian team. In the quadrangular series against India B, Bangladesh, and England, he captained the A team and claimed 13 wickets. While the vice captain aims to improve India’s record, the deputy wants to make his mark.

After capturing 17 wickets in three matches for Punjab in the CK Nayudu Trophy, Aaradhya Shukla (Punjab) made headlines. For the World Cup, India would be hoping that the pacer can produce results like to these.

Naman Tiwari (Uttar Pradesh): The left-arm bowler, who has previously played in South Africa, will want to keep up his impressive form after claiming 12 wickets in his first six games for India. Taking a fifer in his debut against Bangladesh in the tri-series, he has also had noteworthy performances.

Sachin Dhas (Maharashtra): The Maharashtrian batter’s most noteworthy innings came in the U19 Asia Cup against Pakistan, when he helped the team reach 259 with a crucial fifty. The hitter will want to rectify that at the World Cup since he hasn’t been able to get a high score after this knock.
