Exclusive - I want to be an all-format player like Virat Kohli, says Yash Dhull after scoring century on Ranji Trophy debut

Yash Dhull, the captain of the 2022 World Cup-winning Indian Under-19 team, walked out to the middle at Guwahati's Barsapara Cricket Stadium for his maiden outing in first-class cricket for Delhi, he had left the 'World Cup-winning captain' tag behind. He wasn't complacent. He wasn't nervous. All he wanted to do was live in the moment. Dhull, ahead of the toss, was asked to open the batting against the Vijay Shankar-led Tamil Nadu. The 19-year-old, who came to bat at No. 4 in the u-19 World Cup matches, had to deal with another challenge. But he accepted it. He opened the batting with Dhruv Shorey and soon saw the latter falling for 1. Himmat Singh, the No. 3 batter, too departed without troubling the scorers, leaving Delhi reeling at 7-2. Dhull, a first-class debutant, stayed focused and continued to accelerate Delhi's run rate and slammed a magnificent ton in his first meeting with the red cherry in competitive senior level cricket. The youngster scored 113 runs off 150 balls, including 18 fours.

Sachin Tendulkar Answers Query On Who Is The Better Player Between Him And Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has long been seen as the natural heir to Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian cricket team due to his batting prowess. While Kohli is currently going through a lean patch and hasn't scored an international century since 2019, he still has an unviable record with the bat across all formats. While many of Sachin Tendulkar's records may not be broken anytime soon, Kohli is expected to get within touching distance of some of the legendary Mumbai-born cricketer's incredible feats with the bat.

India vs West Indies, 2nd T20I: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast, Live Streaming

Clinical in most aspects of the game so far, India will now hope that star batter Virat Kohli also regains his form when they take on a struggling West Indies in the potentially series-deciding second T20 International in Kolkata on Friday. The touring West Indies side has been far from being at its best and has failed to trouble the hosts in any of the matches so far.

But they hardly managed to trouble the hosts in the first T20I in Kolkata on Wednesday, going down by six wickets.

It's difficult to get the eyes off Rohit Sharma when the camera is on him, which is quite often the case now ever since he took over as India's limited-overs captain. He doesn't have that intense, battle-ready face of a Virat Kohli, neither does he stay almost reactionless like MS Dhoni. Rohit in fact, has an own way of reacting on the cricket field. One such incident took place during India vs West Indies first T20I at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. In between the confusion of whether to go for a DRS listening to the bowler Ravi Bishnoi and former captain Virat Kohli, Rohit found time to pass on a comment at the on-field umpire's wide call. "Wide kidhar de raha hai yaar?" (How can you call it a wide?) Rohit said when the umpire stretched his arms ignoring a confident appeal from debutant Bishnoi.
