India captain Uday Saharan admitted that his team played a few rash strokes which contributed to their loss to Australia in the final of the U-19 World Cup in Benoni on Sunday. “We played a few rash shots, couldn’t spend more time at the crease. We had prepared, but couldn’t execute,” said Saharan after the 79-run defeat. However, the disappointed skipper remarked, “It was a very good tournament. I am very proud of the boys, they all played very well. They all showed great fighting spirit from the start.”
