The victorious West Indies players take a selfie.

We have seen the chainsaw, the Gangnam, the chicken dance, and the airplane among others. But is Shamar Springer's chest roll the best? Vote for your favourite.

Hetmyer, the winnings West Indies captain: I feel good, word can't explain me how good. The way the guys played showed. We weren't supposed to be champions but we came up to top. The pacers used the pitch to their advantage, they stood out for us. Carter and Paul are aggressive players, they made the adjustment. They kept a calm head. Probably (chest rolls later?).

Ishan Kishan: The bowlers bowled in the right areas. The fielding we were good in the beginning, but we dropped crucial catches. It was difficult to bat, but we were used to these conditions.

Carty, Man of the Match: It was very enjoyable. Having a 22-hour flight to Bangladesh. We performed very well. It is a very good feeling. I told myself that I can't leave the Under-19 World Cup without a landmark. We work together, we hope to take West Indies back on top where we were.

Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Man of the Tournament: I am really excited. My target was big. I wanted to be the best allrounder. Future goal is next World Cup. My future plan is national team, No.1 allrounder. Hopefully, I will try my best.

4:30pm: West Indies wobbled in their chase, but Carty and Paul showed great patience and composure to steer them home. Isam's report will tell you the full story

Chest-rolling Springer: That was my signature dance. He (Carty) showed a lot of character. It was a very patient knock and it was worth it. More chest rolling for sure.

West, West Indies coach: We gave a couple of easy wickets away. Credit to the Indian bowlers, they fought back brilliantly. The team sticks together and plays entertaining cricket. Paul was looking for a six to win. That is how we play.

Holder: That is lovely. I don't know what to say. We back each other and we knew we could pull it off. Growing up as a youngster, it was always a dream

Paul: It is special. Thanks to god. We are very happy. Obviously, great feeling, we are winning it for the first time. I cant explain it. I just wanted to control and find the gaps

Here's Tony Cozier on how West Indies' Under-19 success is heart-warming but wonders what's next for them in a dysfunctional cricket system

Mamun Ul Hoque : "Congratulations ! West Indies Champion U19 World Cup 2016. Both Carty and Paul leads to team carefully… "

Aamir: "WI has always been famous for winning Hearts along with the game"

Kutbuddin: "Seeing a drop in performance from WI cricket in last decade, this could be a boost for the cricketer as it did with them after T20 WC win in 2012."

It has been great fun bringing you this tournament. Watch out for post-match offerings from Vishal and Isam. Until next time, goodbye and cheerio ESPNcricinfo
