On January 30, India defeated Pakistan to advance to Under-19 Cricket World Cup finals. Being an India vs Pakistan dual, it meant all eyes were on the Shaw and Co. to outperform their semis opponents. Batsman Shubham Gill smashed the first century for India in U-19 World Cup. in While fans back in India remained glued to their television screens, there was one Indian couple fan who was cheering for Team India in Christchurch.
Pictures of the couple decked up in matching white tees bearing Dravid’s name and holding a placard were splashed on the social media. The message on the banner was even more interesting as it read – “On our honeymoon but cricket is my first love”. Their love for the game did not go wasted as Prithvi Shaw-led team recorded a fantastic win by a huge 203-run margin. It was even more special to see them don a jersey with Rahul Dravid’s name. The 45-year-old former Indian batting legend is currently the coach of under-19 side.
