Taruwar Kohli was a No 3 batsman who had never opened before at a serious level of cricket before the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008. He rose to the challenge and was a model of consistency, scoring 218 runs with three consecutive half-centuries that led India through the initial stages of their successful World Cup campaign. He has also played U-19 cricket for his state Punjab and North Zone and looks up to Sachin Tendulkar.

For every Virat, there is a Taruwar Kohli: What they don’t tell you about U-19 World Cup
In 2008, a 19-year-old called Kohli took the field in an U-19 Cricket World Cup. By the time the tournament ended, he had scored 218 runs in six matches which included three consecutive fifties and lifted the trophy, of course. Today he is 27 and hasn’t made his India debut yet. His name is Taruwar Kohli.
In a galaxy where stars are meant to be born, the truth is that many fade away even before they get a chance shine. The cricket world views the U-19 World Cup as a crystal ball to gaze into the future. The event is hyped as an opportunity to see the future stars of international cricket battle it out in the present.
However, the truth remains that for every Chris Gayle (top scorer in 1998), Yuvraj Singh (Player of the Tournament in 2000) or Virat Kohli (captain of the winning team in 2008) that emerges from the U-19 World Cup, a significant number never make the cut to the next level.
