The Indian cricket team is the most successful in the Under-19 World Cup, with five titles to its name. India won their first-ever Under-19 World Cup title in 2000 under the captaincy of Mohammad Kaif. They are also the defending Champions as they defeated England in the Final of 2022 U19 Cricket World Cup in West Indies.

A lot of players have made a big name from the U-19 circuit. There are no better examples than Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Babar Azam who have proved themselves in the modern era for their countries.
