New Delhi: The Prithvi Shaw-led Indian U-19 Cricket team registered massive 100-run victory over Australia. The Indian pace battery Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Ishan Porel with their raw pace made former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly to take notice.

Surprised by the pace, Ganguly on Twitter asked captain Virat Kohli, VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, BCCI and few others to keep an eye on them.

There was a time when clocking 145 kph mark was a fanciful thing but these pacers made it look so easy in their U19 World Cup opener against Aussies. Rajasthan pacer Kamlesh Nagarkoti, 18, consistently bowled above 145 kph with one of his delivery touching 149 kph mark.

Shivam Mavi and Ishan Porel also shined with their fiery pace.

Nagarkoti, in his six List A matches, has nine wickets to his name at an economy of 4.89.
