Sharing a clip of the victorious moment on her Instagram Stories, Janhvi wrote, “Congratulations to the Under-19 team for winning the World Cup. Well deserved and were all so proud.”

Actor Vicky Kaushal also shared the same video that Janhvi posted and captioned it, “5th World Cup. Congratulations Team India U-19.”

Actor Anupam Kher shared a photo of the team and congratulated them by saying, “Heartiest Congratulations to our U-19 cricket team for defeating England to clinch a record fifth title & winning the World Cup. #U19CWC.”

India made 195 for 6 with 14 balls to spare after dismissing England, playing their first final in the tournament in 24 years, for 189. Fast bowler Raj Bawa claimed 5-31 while Ravi Kumar finished with 4-34. England were 91-7 at one stage before a sparkling 95 from James Yew gave them a fighting chance but India were never really in trouble with Shaik Rasheed and Nishant Sindhu both making half-centuries.
