Former India under-19 winning captain Yash Dhull is looking to overcome the odds and get back to top form. According to news, the young Batter from Delhi has undergone surgery to recover from the hole in his heart in June. 

The condition has come to light after several news outlets highlighted the rare condition. Rajesh Nagar who happens to be the coach of the young batting sensation said, "It was not a major surgery. It took him about 10 to 15 days to recover. He is not 100 per cent at the moment in terms of his game and fitness, I would say he is about 80 per cent but good enough.”

Yash Dhull played a match-winning knock in the finals of the 2022 Under-19 World Cup for India against England. He made a tremendous start to his Ranji career before losing form.

Post his operation, Yash Dhull is currently playing in the Delhi Premier League edition. Rajesh Nagar also went on to say, “It was a small hole and has been there since birth but it was detected now. He will be back to his best very soon." 

After his amazing performances for India at the age group level, Yash Dhull was picked by Delhi Capitals. The right-handed batter hasn’t had a great start to his IPL Career and has failed to grab the chances that are coming his way. 

Yash Dhull made his Ranji Debut against Tamil Nadu and scored 113 runs in his first innings off 150 balls. In the second innings, he scored yet another century to be not out on 113 runs from 202 balls as the game ended in a draw. 

So far, Yash Dhull has played 23 first-class matches and scored 1610 runs with an average of 44. He has hit five tons and five fifties with a best of 200 and scored a century in his last appearance against Odisha. The right-handed batter has also played 4 games in the IPL and scored just 16 runs with a best of 13.
