A few weeks ago, Yash Dhull led the India U-19 team to World Cup glory in the Caribbean, on February 5. Dhull led the white-ball challenge from the front, scoring 229 runs in just four games. Yesterday, the Delhi opener proved he’s a class act in red-ball cricket too as he slammed back-to-back centuries (113 and 113 not out) in both innings on his first-class debut in a drawn Ranji Trophy encounter against Tamil Nadu (TN) in Guwahati.

Dhull became only the third Indian to score centuries in both innings on Ranji debut. The other two being former India captain Nari Contractor (for Gujarat) and Maharashtra’s Virag Awate. Yash however, played down his feat. “It’s nothing great. It’s just a normal performance. Whatever I learnt about the game, I tried to execute it and got the best results,” Yash told mid-day from Guwahati on Sunday.
