Xtra Time Web Desk : India’s U-19 World Cup winning captain, Yash Dhull on Tuesday opened up about his aspirations of meeting and learning from the likes of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant ahead of the Indian Premier League 2022.
In an interview with the Times of India, Dhull said, “I am eager to meet Virat bhaiya. He has been my inspiration. I have always idolised him. I want to interact with him and take a lot of tips from him. I want to ask him how he bats in crunch and high-pressure games, how he manages to control his mind, and how he took his fitness to another level. I have led the under-19 team but the way Virat bhaiya handled his team and players was amazing. I want to ask him how he managed his team and ensured his players stay pressure-free so that they can put in their best performances,”
The 19 year old who was picked by Delhi Capitals in the recently concluded IPL Mega Auction also opened up about how the franchise’s captain Rishabh Pant inspires him both as a batter and as a leader.
“Rishabh bhaiya is a great motivator and a very good captain. I want to learn the nuances of a leadership role from him. He is so energetic on the field. The way he enjoys his game and keeps motivating and encouraging his teammates, from behind the wickets, is amazing,” stated the U-19 World Cup winning skipper.
Now, with Dhull being a staggering talent himself scoring runs for fun, it would be interesting see how the 19 year old incorporates himself into a strong Delhi Capitals set up.
