Kolkata,
\nCricket icon Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday said the triumphant Indian U-19 side stood out from the rest of their competitors in the just-concluded World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way they have prepared themselves, physically, mentally, their planning and the execution was on top. That\u2019s why it was evident that the Indian team stood out from the rest of the competitors,\u201d Tendulkar said, after flagging off the Kolkata Full Marathon here this morning.<\/p>\n
India lifted a record fourth Under-19 World Cup trophy after an eight-wicket rout of Australia in the final yesterday in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
India had all their bases covered with the bowlers\u2019 bouncing back to dismiss Australia for 216 from 183\/4 in the 40th over. The highly-rated batting completed the job with conviction as India chased down the modest target in 38.5 overs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a tremendous achievement that requires a great team work to realise big dreams. We have been able to do that,\u201d Tendulkar said.<\/p>\n
He also heaped praise on the BCCI for providing the right kind of infrastructure to nurture the players.<\/p>\n
\u201cCredit to BCCI for giving them the infrastructure. In the last 15 years, playing has changed, standard of fielding has changed. It\u2019s all because of better infrastructure and ground maintenance. It reflects on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tendulkar also lauded the contribution of chief coach Rahul Dravid and the other members of support staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout any doubt, it\u2019s a terrific contribution. It\u2019s working for him (Dravid) along with the support staff, he (Dravid) himself said that. It\u2019s been a joy to work with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
