India U19 won the match by 90 runs against Pakistan U19.
India U19 registered a dominant, one-sided victory over Pakistan U19 in the Under-19 Asia Cup, but beyond the result, a moment of sportsmanship from Indian pacer Kishan Kumar Singh caught widespread attention. During Pakistan’s innings, Kishan not only impressed with the ball but also produced a gesture that quickly went viral on social media.
The incident occurred after 36 overs when Pakistani batter Huzaifa Ehsan’s right shoelace came undone. Struggling to fix it while at the crease, Huzaifa sought help, and Kishan stepped in to tie the shoelaces for him. The moment was captured by the broadcast cameras and soon circulated widely online, particularly among Pakistani fans, who praised the young Indian pacer’s conduct.
