Delhi-born batter Yash Dhull recently led the Indian U-19 team in the ICC U-19 World Cup and under his captaincy, team India defeated England in the final to clinch the World Cup for the fifth time. And now the U-19 World Cup-winning skipper has been selected for the Delhi team for the upcoming Ranji Trophy. In a situation like this, Dhull spoke to Sports Tak in an exclusive interview and discussed multiple topics.
Dhull's inspiration
While talking about his inspiration, Dhull said that former India skipper Virat Kohli is his “idol” and he loves Kohli’s “style and aggression.”
“I love Kohli bhaiyya's style and his aggression. He is also my idol and I like his body language in the team. I also like that a lot,” Dhull expressed.
New target
The international matches might have been over for Dhull for the time being but there is no time for him to rest as the World Cup-winning skipper is set to feature for the Delhi team in Ranji Trophy and also he will have his eyes set on the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auctions as well. The IPL 2022 mega auctions will take place in Bengaluru, on February 12 and 13.
While talking about winning the U-19 World Cup, Dhull said that “it is now past” and he wants to think about “how to move forward.”
"Winning the World Cup is now past. I am now thinking about how to move forward. Because I have got a place in Delhi Ranji team and now there is a lot to do ahead,” Dhull explained
During the World Cup, Dhull and other players were found to be positive for the Covid-19 virus. While recalling the period, Dhull said that they “were a little nervous at that time" but “the bonding was great and helped us move forward”
“When all of us were found to be corona positive, we were a little nervous at that time. But everyone knows that VVS Laxman sir was present with us. He talked to us a lot and kept us mentally strong, which helped us a lot and was always a team player. We stayed connected to each other, so the bonding was great and helped us move forward,” Dhull recalled.
