India won their record fourth world cup.
India today lifted a record fourth U-19 World Cup trophy after an eight-wicket rout of Australia in the final, underlining their dominant run in the tournament and giving Rahul Dravid the biggest success of his coaching career.
As it has been the case throughout the tournament, India had all their bases covered with bowlers bouncing back to dismiss Australia for 216 from 183 for four at one stage.
The highly-rated batting, barring a minor blip, completed the job with conviction as India chased down the modest target in 38.5 overs.
Such a big win called for equally loud celebrations. At Bay Oval, all one could hear is the roar of Boys in Blue as they were presented with the winning trophy.

At one point, captain Prithvi Shaw enacted an impromptu skit with the team. Coach Rahul Dravid looked very proud of his lads when he greeted them on their way to pavilion. Fans of the team in the stands joined in the celebrations with the chant of 'India, India' when the team took their victory lap. Add a bit of Bhangra and you'll have covered all the bases of celebrations.

But the cheering did not stop there. Back in the dressing room, the team got together with the support staff and cheers only got louder.

Delhi-boy Manjot Kalra emerged as the man for the big occasion, scoring a sublime 101 not out off 102 balls and anchoring the innings after the loss of skipper Prithvi Shaw and team's leading scorer in the tournament, Shubman Gil.
With a fourth crown, India surpassed Australia in the race of most U-19 World Cup titles. Prior to the final, India and Australia were locked at three titles each.
