Noida, Feb. 6 -- Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has hailed India's U19 World Cup triumph, saying the victory reflects a bright future for Indian cricket.

Speaking to ANI on Thursday, Madan Lal said, "First of all, I want to congratulate the Under-19 Indian cricket team. They played excellent cricket throughout the tournament. Today, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 175 runs off 80 balls. He played a fantastic innings, and I think the future of Indian cricket is very bright. Because all the youngsters who played in this World Cup have performed exceptionally well. A score of 411 in an Under-19 match is a huge score. I'm surprised that even in 50-over matches, so many runs are being scored now."
