Shikhar Dhawan to Team India ahead of U-19 World Cup final

In 2004, Shikhar Dhawan showcased his skills representing India in the Under-19 World Cup tournament. Despite boasting a roster of talented players including Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik, RP Singh, Robin Uthappa, and Dhawan himself, India fell short of making it to the final of the prestigious tournament. The Boys in Blue suffered a defeat to arch-rivals Pakistan in the semifinals. Nearly two decades later, the memories of that time still linger vividly in Dhawan's mind.
