India’s Under-19 captain Yash Dhul scored a brilliant century against Australia in the semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup on Wednesday. Batting first, Dhul made 110 off 110 balls to put India in a comfortable position. He also became the third Indian captain after the illustrious Virat Kohli and the Delhi prodigy Unmukt Chand to score a century in the history of the tournament.
Veteran Indian batsman VVS Laxman’s video went viral on social media where he was seen applauding Dhul after completing his century.
Laxman is currently holding the post of President at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The former batsman is currently in West Indies to share his valuable inputs with the India Under-19 team.
Playing only his third game of the tournament after missing two due to COVID-19, Dhul showed maturity beyond his age to build up the innings with his deputy Sheikh Rashid. The two shared a 204-run stand for the third wicket as India posted 290 for 5 against Australia in the second semi-final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup.
Dhul scored a lot of runs and the clever late-cuts off-spinner behind the boundary was one of his pet shots.
High-class Dhul played another scintillating innings. The pitch was on the slow side, but he swung the strike smoothly, collecting a total of 10 fours and a six, before accelerating to the boundary at will.
Before the match, Dhul heaped praises on Laxman, who scored over 8,000 runs in Test cricket for India’s senior team. “VVS Laxman is sharing his experience with us and talking about the mindset that we need. His role has been important to us.”
It hasn’t been an easy ride for the former champions, though there was a time during the tournament when they struggled to put together a fit eleven when several members of their squad, including both captain Dhull and his deputy Rashid, suffered from COVID-19. had been infected with.
