Ahmad Rayyan, the second finalist alongside Nauman Khan, gave a tough time to his fellow countryman in the final encounter but could not maintain consistency and ended up with the Silver Medal.
Another Pakistani young squad sensation, Abdullah Nawaz, also displayed a magnificent performance in the four-day marquee event in China, winning the Bronze Medal in the U-17 category.

This historic victory marked the end of a 37-year-long wait for Pakistan, with Jansher Khan being the last player to bring home the coveted title in 1986.
