New Delhi: India U-19 thumped England U-19 by 334 runs to register the biggest ever win in Youth Tests at Chesterfield, England.
India now holds the top five biggest wins in Youth Tests.
It was Manjot Kalra’s brilliant century that laid the foundation for a mammoth first innings total of 519 after being put into by England.
Manjot was well supported by half centuries from Harvik Desai (89) and Prithvi Shaw (86).
Josh Tongue (3/69), Henry Brookes (3/85) and Amar Virdi (3/134) took three wickets each for England.
In reply, England U-19 were bundled out for 195 in 54.2 overs, courtesy a superb five-wicket haul by Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi's four scalps.
Will Jacks (46) was the top-scorer for England, while skipper Max Holden (32) and Ryan Patel (38) made useful contributions.
In their second essay, Shaw (69) and Das (50) produced half centuries once again as India colts declared at 173 for six to set England an improbable target of 497.
For England, Matty Potts (3/20), Amar Virdi (2/63) and Tongue (1/19) were the wicket-takers.
Opener Holden (60) cracked a fifty, but the other batsmen could not show the stomach for fight as the hosts collapsed to be 163 all out in 46.1 overs.
