India’s U19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull will be showcasing his batting talent in the upcoming IPL 2022 for the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise. Dhull, became only the third Indian U19 captain to score a century in the tournament, as he helped India win yet another title in the youth World Cup.
He then had an amazing start to his First-Class career as he reeled off 113 and 113* in his debut match for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy against Tamil Nadu and then put the cherry on top by scoring a double ton as well as Chhattisgarh.
