India’s Under-19 cricket captain Unmukt Chand has been promoted to second year, said the vice chancellor of Delhi University Professor Dinesh Singh.

Earlier Firstpost had reported that the victorious Indian Under-19 cricket team arrived to a rousing reception from Australia after winning the age-group World Cup in Townsville.

Triumphant team skipper Unmukt Chand, who slammed a match-winning unbeaten century in the summit clash against Australia, was the first to come out of the Shivaji Chhatrapati International airport terminal, holding aloft the trophy.

Beside hordes of supporters, spinner Harmeet Singh’s relatives and friends were present in big numbers at the airport to greet the team.

Later, St Stephen’s College barred Unmukt from sitting for his exams for not having the minimum 33.3% attendance.
