KOLKATA: Abhishek Porel kept waiting for his chance in the West Indies. But the India Under-19 World Cup team member did not get a match as the side went on to claim the title. He got his chance on Sunday and the youngster rose to the occasion to play an important part in scripting Bengal's incredible four-wicket victory against Baroda in the Elite Group B match at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
The boy from Chandernagar stayed unbeaten on 53 and more importantly was involved in an unbroken 108-run seventh-wicket stand with Shazbaz Ahmed at a time when a small mistake could have tilted the balance of the match to the rival camp.
