Yash Thakkar, steering Saurashtra Under-14s, delivers the prognosis. ‘India’s superiority against England is undeniable,’ he affirms. ‘Sanju Samson’s West Indies blitz underscores team-wide sharpness. Abhishek Sharma’s Wankhede T20 hundred versus England hints at semifinal fireworks. Robust bowling seals the deal.’
Young gun Rudra traces the momentum. ‘Super-8 loss to South Africa? Forgotten amid wins over Zimbabwe and West Indies that clinched our semifinal ticket,’ he says. ‘Batters and bowlers in sync. England formidable, yet Wankhede fans fuel India’s win. Then, New Zealand falls in the final.’
