IPL 2022: Rising Indian batting star and U-19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull wants to learn from Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant

Yash Dhull is all set to be fulfilled. The 19-year-old is looking forward to meeting his idol Virat Kohli and taking tips from the former India captain during the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season 15, scheduled to be played between March 26 and May 29. Dhull will be playing for the Delhi Capitals after being bought at the last player auction. The Delhi franchise picked up the 2022 ICC U-19 World Cup-winning skipper for Rs. 50 lakh. WAITING TO MEET VIRAT KOHLI"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," Dhull told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview.

DHULL MAKING ALL THE RIGHT NOISES ON FIRST CLASS CRICKET DEBUTAfter guiding India to World Cup glory, Dhull was handed his first-class debut and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. The 19-year-old Delhi lad smashed centuries in both innings of his first-class debut (113 and 113 not out vs Tamil Nadu). He followed that up with a majestic 261-ball 200* knock, his maiden first-class double century, against Chhattisgarh. He smashed 26 boundaries and shared a mammoth 246-run stand with Dhruv Shorey for the opening wicket.
