Pakistan set an imposing target of 338 runs, but India’s young team, led by skipper Lakshya Raichandani (80) and Aaryavir Sehwag (58), orchestrated a stunning comeback with late contributions from Manal Chauhan (47) and Mohit Ulva (49 not out) to clinch the championship. Sehwag, who is Aaryavir’s father, hailed the team’s character in a post on X, stating, \"What a match! What a finish! To beat Pakistan in an U19 Asia Cup final chasing 338 takes some serious character. Lakshya’s 80, Aaryavir’s 58, and then Manal Chauhan and Mohit Ulva’s Jalwa when we needed a miracle. What an unbelievable victory. Proud of these young Champions!\" Ganguly echoed the sentiment, praising the team on X and singling out Aaryavir for his outstanding performance, stating, \"Well done India under19 .. superb performance .. young Sehwag .. what a tournament he had.. every other member of the team as well ..
