Yash Dhull is currently busy playing in the ongoing ACC Men’s Emerging Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka. India A won their first game against UAE A convincingly and Dhull won the Player of the Match award for scoring 108* runs off 84 balls, including 20 fours and one six. It was his maiden List-A century.
Now, they will be in action on 17 July in Colombo against Nepal. Ahead of that clash, Dhull opened up about his bond with Virat Kohli in an interaction on 'Follow the Blues' on Star Sports. He shared the impact of Kohli on his career so far and listening to that, fans shared their views also.
“Virat bhaiya looks different on TV and he is different with me.” - Yash Dhull
He said: "I have met him two or three times. Virat bhaiya looks different on TV and he is different with me. So we share a special bond. I get to learn a lot from him, like his aggression and the way his mind ticks while batting. So you get to learn a lot while interacting with him." Dhull was in action for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2023. He was seen having a chat with the former RCB skipper, Virat Kohli during the tournament.
However, he also opened up about the upcoming fixture against Pakistan A in the tournament. He said: “It is a normal match for us. It is nothing like there is pressure. We will play as a unit and not think about the result. Pressure is there but we have to find a way to handle it, it's up to us whether we enjoy it or let the pressure get to us."
"We played against them in the Under-19 Asia Cup. We lost on the last ball. Two runs were required off one ball. There we had lost four wickets for 30 or 40 runs. From there we scored close to 240 and then we lost on the last ball. So that was a match where we put in a lot of effort as a team because the wicket became better in the second innings," Yash Dhull concluded.
Here is how fans have reacted:
