Jaipur: Talented Jaipur teenager Kushagra Ojha slammed a brilliant unbeaten hundred to anchor India Under-19’s innings and steer the visitors to a position of strength after a poor start against Sri Lanka on a truncated opening day of the second Youth Test in Colombo on Monday.India were well-placed at 253 for three in 65 overs when the umpires were forced to call off the day’s play due to bad light.The left-handed Kushagra Ojha remained undefeated on 103 off 177 balls at stumps after negotiating the new ball with assurance before converting his start into a well-crafted hundred, laying the foundation for a big Indian total.Skipper Yashbardhan Chauhan chipped in with a fine 78 off 89 balls, while Manal Chauhan was the other not out batter at stumps, having moved to 55 in 108 deliveries.Brief Scores: India U-19 253/3 in 65 overs (Kushagra Ojha 103 not out, Yashbardhan Chauhan 78; Gimhan Mendis 2-42, Sethmika Seneviratne 1-46) against Sri Lanka U-19.
