India’s Under 19 World Cup-winning captain, Unmukt Chand has opened up on his international aspirations in the coming years with team India. Unmukt Chand led India to an Under 19 World Cup win in 2012 in Australia. He smashed a scintillating century in the final of the tournament against the hosts and helped India win the title.

Although Unmukt was regarded as the next big thing in Indian cricket after Virat Kohli, the Delhi-based batsman still awaits an opportunity to make his senior international debut. His career after the Under 19 World Cup has seen a downfall, and he has majorly been a part of only domestic and first-class cricket circuit in the country.
