Yash Dhull has opened up on how his side will celebrate the U19 World Cup triumph. India lifted a record fifth U19 World Cup title after defeating England in the summit clash here at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium on Saturday. The Yash Dhull-led side defeated the Three Lions in the summit clash by four wickets. Earlier, India had won the U19 World Cup in 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2018.
Yash Dhull, who was on the brink of missing the biggest tournament of his promising career due to Covid-19, days after starring in India's U-19 World Cup opener. Having experienced the worst symptoms out of the five players who tested positive on the eve of India's second U-19 World Cup game against Ireland, the captain ended up missing the remaining leagues games. It would be normal for any teenager to feel shattered under the circumstances but here was Dhull, who resorted to shadow-batting in his seven-day isolation in Trinidad besides visualising himself on how he would play in the matches against Ireland and Uganda. The scheduling of the quarterfinal also helped, as he, along with others, was able to recover in the nick of time for the quarterfinal against Bangladesh where he made a crucial 20 not out in a low-scoring affair. The 19-year-old from the busy Janakpuri neighbourhood in West Delhi, followed that up with a match-winning hundred in the semifinals.
Justin Langer told Cricket Australia (CA) he wanted to bow out with dignity and integrity rather than accept a short-term contract to continue as men's head coach.
