During the U-19 Challenger tournament last year, India skipper Uday Saharan wasn’t scoring runs and father Sanjeev was getting anxious as the national selection committee was about to pick the squad for junior Asia Cup.
“I wasn’t in best frame of mind as Uday wasn’t scoring runs, but he would tell me, ‘papa, don’t worry, runs will come’. That’s Uday for you. I am not saying because he is my son but at 19, he can remain uncluttered,” Sanjeev, beaming with joy after his son led India to their fifth consecutive U-19 World Cup final, told PTI.
