**[City, Date]** – India’s Under-19 cricket team suffered a setback in their opening match of the Asia Cup 2024 against Pakistan. Despite the recent IPL auction hype surrounding opener Vaibhav Raghuvanshi, who became the youngest crorepathi in IPL history after being bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore, his performance against Pakistan was underwhelming.

Pakistan posted a challenging 281/7 in their 50 overs, largely thanks to a stunning 159-run knock by opener Shahzeb Khan. This set India a target of 282 runs.

India’s innings got off to a poor start. Raghuvanshi, opening alongside Ayush Mahatre, managed only 1 run off 9 balls before being caught behind off the bowling of Ali Raja. The opening partnership yielded only 28 runs before Mahatre also fell, scoring 20 runs.

This early collapse put India on the back foot, overshadowing Raghuvanshi’s recent IPL success. The match result is not mentioned in the provided text. The article also briefly mentions the disappointing performance of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance in the Maharashtra elections, a seemingly unrelated event.
