Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and several other Bollywood celebs have commended India Under-19 coach Rahul Dravid and Prithvi Shaw led team India who cruised to a comfortable win over the Aussies in the ICC World Cup final on Saturday.
The young Indian team defeated Australia by eight wickets in the finals at the Mount Maunganui, Tauranga in New Zealand.
