India U19 won the title for a record fifth time, registering a stunning victory over England U19 in the final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2022 in Antigua on 6 February. All-rounder Raj Bawa was awarded the player of the match for his outstanding performance. He first recorded a fifer, and then scored a match-winning 35 during the chase. The Indian team won accolades for their stellar performances not only in the finale but throughout the tournament.
India U19 team did not face a single defeat in U19 World Cup 2022. The young cricketers were applauded for their overall performance from all corners of India and across the globe. Many celebrities and eminent personalities also congratulated the youth and the list also included actor Shahid Kapoor. Even though Shahid made a special mention of the victorious Indian side, he made a big mistake which invited massive trolling on social media.
Congratulating the Boys in Blue on their fifth U19 World Cup win, the Bollywood actor posted an image from the 2018 batch, which featured captain Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and others. Though minutes later, the actor realized his mistake and deleted the Instagram stories, with netizens already taking a screenshot of him. While social media users laughed heartily at his expense, one of them pointed out that since Shahid played a cricketer in the yet-to-be-released jersey, he should not have gone wrong.
“Shahid Kapoor has recently done a whole film based on cricket but still can’t take a little effort to know the difference between 2018 and 2022 Indian U-19 World Cup teams. Embarrassing stuff,” read a tweet on the microblogging site.

One user jokingly said, ‘When you are not interested in cricket but you have to pretend because of family pressure.
“Such things happen when you don’t follow sports and post it just to look cool,” wrote another.
Shahid and Mrunal Thakur’s Jersey was scheduled to release in December 2021, but the third wave of Covid-19 pushed the film’s release indefinitely.
