New Delhi: Yash Dhull won the hearts of cricket fans by hitting a century on his Ranji Trophy debut match in Guwahati against Tamil Nadu. He scored his first ton at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Thursday.
Dhull accumulated 100 runs by hitting 133 balls. It is believed that this will give him a boost to the career of the 18-year-old cricketer.
This makes Dhull the second Indian U-19 captain who hit a hundred on his Ranji Trophy debut. Earlier, the record was in the name of Prithvi Shaw who smashed a hundred in 2016.
However, Dhull scored 113 off 150 balls before returning back to the pavilion in the 50th over.
On his achievement, a congratulatory message was also shared by BCCI on Twitter.
”Yush Dull — India’s U19CWC-winning captain -begins his RanjiTrophy journey in style,” read the tweet of BCCI.
