Arjun Rajput Scores Century as India Posts 208 Against Pakistan in U19 Asia Cup
Arjun Rajput, a 19-year-old left-handed all-rounder from Jalandhar, scored a counter-attacking century against Pakistan in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup, helping India recover from an early batting collapse. His 107 runs off 85 balls featured 11 fours and five sixes, stabilizing the innings as India posted 208 runs before being bowled out. Rajput's rise includes strong performances in Punjab's age-group cricket and overcoming family financial challenges. Despite his efforts, Pakistan won the match, with Hamza Zaroor's late innings playing a key role.
