Captain Yash Dhul, who won India the Under-19 World Cup, is doing wonders in the Ranji Trophy. He has scored three centuries in three Ranji matches. Dhul, who scored a century in both the innings of the debut match, has scored a brilliant double century against Chhattisgarh. Due to his excellent innings, Delhi’s team was successful in getting this match drawn. Dhul is dreaming of making it to India’s senior team within 18 months, the way he has batted in this Ranji season. His dream may come true even before time.
The 19-year-old Dhul had scored the best century against Australia in the semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup. In this match, the Indian team was under pressure and Dhul, along with Sheikh Rashid, made the team difficult and then made the champion. After this he has done wonders in domestic cricket.

In his third Ranji match, Dhul was dismissed for just 29 runs in the first innings and his team could not do much. Because of this, the Delhi team had to play follow-on. After this, Dhul batted brilliantly in the second innings and scored a brilliant double century. He scored an unbeaten 200 off 261 balls. His innings included 26 fours. In the Ranji Trophy, Dhul has so far scored 479 runs at an average of 119.75 and is included in the list of highest run-scorers.
History was created in the debut match
Before Dhul, only two Indian batsmen were able to score centuries in both the innings of their first Ranji match. Nari Contractor from Gujarat had scored 152 and 102 runs in 1952/53. In 2012/13, Virag Awate of Maharashtra scored 126 and 112 runs. Yash Dhul has overtaken players like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Sachin also scored a century in his first Ranji match, but he could not achieve this feat in both the innings.
Will play for Delhi in IPL
Yash Dhul will play for Delhi team in IPL 2022. Delhi has bought him at a price of 50 lakhs in the mega auction. He said that he is very excited to face Jofra Archer. However, Archer will not be a part of this IPL. In such a situation, Dhul can get a chance to play against Archer in IPL 2023. Dhul can open the innings for Delhi along with David Warner or Prithvi Shaw. Warner will not play in the opening matches of IPL. In such a situation, Dhul can get a chance to open the innings with Prithvi.
