The situation was so worse, that the team management has to send coaches to the field to give drinks to players during India's second match of the tournament against the Ireland Under-19 team. 

Team India under Yash Dhull won their opening game of the World Cup vs South Africa with ease and are 4-time winners of the junior tournament.
