India U-19 skipper Yash Dhull has been in terrific form in the ongoing ICC U-19 World Cup 2022. The Delhi-born batter scored a brilliant century (110 runs off 110 balls) against Australia in the semi-final to help his side in securing a 96-run victory.
In the first match of the world cup the skipper had scored an amazing 82 runs off 100 balls against South Africa. Yash was tested positive for the Covid-19 virus but there was no change in his batting after his recovery.
The final match
The Indian team, led by Yash, will now take on the English team in the final of the ICC U-19 World Cup, on February 5.
While talking about India’s chances of winning the World Cup, Yash’s father Vijay Dhull said that “definitely the World Cup will come to India.”
“Definitely the World Cup will come to India as the team is performing so well then they deserve it. There is no doubt that the other team has also performed well to get there and the aim is only one. The entire nation is expecting them to do well and why not after all they are doing so well.” Yash Dhull’s father Vijay Dhull was quoted while talking to news agency ANI.
Skills and mindset
Regarding his son’s skills and mentality, Vijay said that, “Yash’s cricketing mind is very sharp.”
“Yash’s cricketing mind is very sharp and he takes things very seriously. He picks up very quickly on what batters will do during such a situation. Which bowler should be put against which batter. He also makes quick changes. Once I asked him what you do then he told me that he keeps an eye on what batter is doing and where he is making a mistake and then accordingly which bowler will be able to bowl him better. His main focus is over there.
“As much as I know he does not take the pressure. He plays game to game and his family is definitely not under any pressure. For us, the biggest achievement is that he was selected for the Under-19 team. The rest of the other things are different. The players who play game to game do not take too much pressure. There are many players in the team who do not take the pressure and play game to game,” he explained.
