The Indian Under-19 cricket team represents the nation of India in cricket at Under-19 level. The team is currently captained by Prabhsimran Singh and coached by former India cricketer Rahul Dravid.[1] The Indian team has won four Under-19 World Cups. In 2000, they won it under the captaincy of Mohammad Kaif, in 2008, they won it under Virat Kohli's leadership, in 2012 under Unmukt Chand and in 2018 under Prithvi Shaw. The team also has the best win percentage in ODIs (77%) among all Under-19 national teams.[2] In June 2016, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided that Indian players could only play in one under-19 World Cup tournament, regardless if they still meet the age criteria for another edition.[3]
