A Heated Exchange Takes Place in the U19 World Cup Final:

Coming in the final, the players of both the teams were heated and fired up. But, an unpleasant incident took place in the second over of the game when Sakib collected the ball on his follow-through and threw it madly at Saxena who dodged it to perfection. Things got heated as both of them exchanged words and eventually, the umpires had to intervene and separate the two.

Indian speedster Jaydev Unadkat tweeted the video of the same.

Here is the video of the incident after Tazim Hasan Sakib agitates Divyansh Saxena following an aggressive throw at the batter:

Hmmm… That passion and aggression in the U-19 boys! So so relatable ? Bring the cup home guys ? @yashasvi_j pic.twitter.com/OODwFkgQLj

Bangladesh bowlers Tanzim and Shoriful Islam were firing in deliveries at a very fast pace and Indian openers Jaiswal and Saxena had no other option but to defend.

The incident seems to have caught the eyes of fans and experts alike. While some are busy criticizing Hasan for such an attitude, others are backing the young bowler for his aggression.

However, as far as the spirit of cricket is concerned, this was not a very good specimen to follow.

The Indian U19 team is one of the most successful teams of the tournament. They have been in the finals six times and have won it four times. It has the best win percentage (77%) among all the teams in the tournament.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, have reached the final for the first time. Team India will look to win the cup for the fifth time and retain it after the 2018 triumph.
