Eager to learn from Virat Kohli & Rishabh Pant: Yash Dhull ahead of IPL 2022

The captain of the victorious Indian U19 team, Yash Dhull, is excited to be a part of the IPL 2022 season. Dhull had a sensational U19 World Cup, leading the team by example with a hundred against Australia in the semifinals.

He is looking forward to meeting and interacting with former Indian skipper Virat Kohli. The 33-year-old had also led the Indian U19 team to victory in the 2008 World Cup and Dhull believes he has a lot to learn from his senior from Delhi.

Speaking to TimesofIndia.com on Tuesday, here's what Yash Dhull had to say about the possibility of meeting Virat Kohli:

"I am eager to meet Virat bhaiya. He has been my inspiration. I have always idolized 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."

Keen to learn a lot more about leadership abilities from Kohli, Dhull said:

"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."
