WATCH: Yash Dhull’s eye-catching No-look Upper Cut in Delhi Capitals’ Net Session

Promising U-19 batter Yash Dhull is relishing his time in preparation for the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with Delhi Capitals (DC). Delhi franchise’s young recruit has been sweating it hard in the nets ahead of the tournament, starting March 26.

During one such net session, Dhull played the smoothest of cover drives you will ever see. Facing the bowling at a training facility in Mumbai ahead of DC’s IPL 2022 opener, the right-hander showcased a great sense of skill and nonchalance in playing the stroke that the great Sachin Tendulkar made famous in India.

The ease at which Tendulkar upper cut Australian fast-bowler Brett Lee for a boundary in the 2008 Perth Test remains etched in cricket fans’ memories. Yash Dhull, too, played the stroke with similar ease and elegance wearing the Delhi training gear.

Dhull’s stint with DC is one of the most exciting aspects of IPL 2022 as the Indian U-19 batter gets his first major breakthrough in the biggest T20 league of the world.

Delhi bought the 19-year-old for a sum of INR 50 lakhs at the mega auction in Bangalore in February, where he had registered with a base amount of INR 20 lakhs.

The life-changing bid came after Yash Dhull’s eye-catching rise through India’s competitive and healthy junior cricket set-up.

The youngster led India to victory at the U-19 World Cup in the Caribbean in January, a tournament where he not only displayed his undoubted talent but also a strong temperament.

Overcoming his bout with Covid midway through the competition, Dhull ended with 229 runs from his four innings. His tally included a solid 110 in the semi-final against Australia in Antigua.

Soon after that tournament finished, the batter made a record start to his first-class career with Delhi, scoring hundreds in each innings of the first-round Ranji Trophy game against Tamil Nadu in Guwahati.
