- Bangladesh’s maiden victory now means four different teams have won the last 4 editions of this tournament. South Africa, West Indies and India won the last three editions.
- India has now been in the finals of this tournament in 7 of the13 editions, including in four of the last five editions.
- Many successful under-19 Indian sides have sent at least 5-6 players to represent the national team in International cricket. This includes 5 players and 6 players respectively from the winning teams in the years 2000 and 2008 respectively. Even the runner up team in 2006 had 6 players to have played for India. Unfortunately, the successful teams of 2012 (winner), 2016 (losing finalist) and 2018 (winner) each have had just 2-3 players representing India so far. Hope the 2020 players turn around this abnormal trend.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes the fourth Indian to have been awarded the Player of the Series. Other three winners (Yuvraj Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill) have all represented India at the International level.
- Yashasvi’s 400 runs is seventh among all time run getters in a single edition of this tournament and is only next to Shikhar Dhawan’s 505 runs in the 2004 edition, among the Indian players.
- West Indies will next be hosting this tournament for the first time in 2022.
