Yuvraj Singh.
The third coincidence between this event and the 2011 World Cup was that in both finals, the Indian captain was the Man of the Match The man of the match was Reetinder Singh Sodhi, but he wasn't captain; it was Mohammad Kaif. Sodhi had captained the side in the U-15 world cup win a few years earlier. The match report is here..
Thanks to Aviral Shrivastava for pointing out the error about the captaincy in this question.
