Will Keep Working Hard Till I Attain My Goal - Yash Dhull Keen On Making The Indian Team In The Next 18 Months

The 2022 U-19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull has already set his goals and is very keen on making it to the Indian senior team within the next 18 months.

Dhull is set to make his Ranji Trophy debut for Delhi starting next week. His career is on the upswing at the moment and the youngster barely has time to rest after winning the World Cup.

“I have hardly slept the last few days but it is not something I can complain about. What I have done till now is done, I need to focus on what lies in the immediate future. That is my target but If I am not able to do that in the 18-month time frame, I will keep working hard till I attain my goal,” Dhull told PTI on Friday.

Dhull mentioned that Indian batter, Virat Kohli had a chat with the U-19 players where he shared his career journey with them. Kohli was the U-19 captain when India won the 2008 World Cup.

“The names you have taken (Kohli and Chand), I am not thinking on those lines. I want to remain humble and not think about the future too much. Virat Bhai shared his experience with me on what happened with him post the U19 World Cup (in 2008). I got to know a lot from approaching my career from here on, the chat with him has helped me understand things I need to focus on going forward and things I need to avoid,” Dhull added.

“All about the mindset from here on” – Yash Dhull

In order to last longer in international cricket, there is a need to constantly improve one’s game and also maintain fitness. Playing in all three formats will also need adaptability and mental prowess. Dhull is already thinking about the same.

“I will have to change my mindset for the red ball game, preparation will be different. I don’t think it will be a lot different and tougher than white ball. The red ball does a bit early on but if you can see that initial period batting becomes easier.”

“It is all about the mindset from here on. Physically how fit you are. It is not one specific area, I will have to work on all my shots to become a better player,” added Dhull when asked about things to improve.
