Among his myriad achievements, the one that stands out is his contribution to the team's victory in the under-19 World Cup. Not only did he shine with outstanding dismissals, but his batting during crucial matches tilted the balance in his team's favour. It was in a legendary face-off against Pakistan that Amogh's capabilities truly electrified the cricketing world; a match remembered for his daring last-over finish that swung the game dramatically.
