ICC Under-19 World Cup: Captain Yash Dhull learned to grab opportunities and embrace challenges at an early age

Quite a couple of eyebrows have been raised when India’s underneath-19 captain Yash Dhull opted to bat first towards Australia at Coolidge within the U-19 World Cup semifinal on Wednesday. The floor at the venue had earned a repute of being capricious within the two previous matches. The greater problem, although, awaited Dhull when he strode out to the pitch with the scoreboard studying 37/2 within the thirteenth over.
What adopted was 33 overs of a exactly-paced ODI innings which yielded a run-a-ball 110 for Dhull. The knock set the inspiration for a mam-moth victory and a spot in Saturday’s last towards England.
Dhull’s cricket journey began with a curve ball thrown at him at the age of 11. He went to Bal Bhawan college, the place he has been honed for the final eight years, for admission because the academy there may give him sufficient opportunities. He was turned away by the principal.
“Yash pleaded for an opportunity to prove his potential. Then we decided to give him one match and told him that was his only opportunity. He was playing against 14-year-old boys and scored an unbeaten 125,” his childhood coach Rajesh Nagar fondly remembers.
According to Nagar, his most lovable high quality got here by way of after that innings. “The principal gave him Rs 500 as a reward and asked him what he wanted to do with that money. Yash said he will give his teammates a treat since success in cricket depends on the teammates,” Nagar instructed TOI.
Dhull’s household was utterly in-vested in his cricket profession. Yet they by no means interfered in the way in which he was coached. “His grandfather is an ex-Army man and that discipline is in him. He speaks less and knows what needs to be done,” the coach claims.
As he cruised by way of the U-16 degree, the subsequent problem got here when the primary Covid lockdown occurred in 2020. Gyanendra Pandey, the junior nationwide selector, had instructed him he can be in India’s U-19 scheme of issues that 12 months. But every thing got here to a standstill.
“We set up nets on our terrace and started working on certain shots using tennis balls. His coaches would give him routines and he would do his fitness on the terrace. He mastered the inside-out shot through and over covers during that period,” Yash’s father Vijay mentioned.

“He didn’t get many matches to play in 2020 and it took some time to gain momentum. He could have pushed his case for Delhi’s senior team. But he acknowledged the situation and kept looking forward,” Vijay added.
Dhull, in contrast to his contemporaries, has not overtly relied on energy-hit-ting. He has labored on contact play. Late cuts, deft nudges, intelligent chip photographs have been his weapons to drag the opposition to a nook. “From a very young age, he believed in hitting gaps and keeping the singles flowing. He knows he can accelerate when he takes the innings deep. He has worked hard on his power-hitting. He had single-handedly won a club match against a team full of seasoned Delhi cricketers last year playing that way. Pradeep Sangwan had told me to take good care of him,” Nagar mentioned.
