Virat Kohli looks different on TV and he is different with me, we share a special bond: Yash Dhull

Yash Dhull, skipper of India A in the ongoing Emerging Teams Asia Cup, spoke about his bond with flamboyant batter Virat Kohli. Notably, Yash slammed a magnificent ton against the UAE in the competition to help his side comfortably win by eight wickets.

In a recent interaction, Yash reflected on his bond with Kohli and expressed how he has learned quite a lot regarding the latter's mindset during the matches while batting and his aggression.

"I have met him two or three times. Virat (Kohli) bhaiya looks different on TV and he is different with me. So, we share a special bond. I get to learn a lot from him, like his aggression and the way his mind ticks while batting. So, you get to learn a lot while interacting with him,” Yash Dhull told during an interaction on 'Follow the Blues' on Star Sports.

Hailing from Delhi, both Kohli and Yash have led the U-19 national teams to win the World Cup in 2008 and 2022, respectively. Speaking about Yash’s ton against the UAE in their first match of the Emerging Teams Asia Cup, his stellar, unbeaten knock of 108 off 84 balls featured 20 boundaries and one maximum at a strike rate of 128.57.

Up to us whether we enjoy it or let the pressure get to us: Yash Dhull on clash against Pakistan A

Following the comfortable win against the UAE, India A will turn their attention to their forthcoming fixtures against Nepal and Pakistan A. The 20-year-old skipper voiced his stance on the crucial high-octane clash against Pakistan A as he stated that his side will look to find a way to enjoy the game rather than let the pressure get the better of them.  

"It is a normal match for us. It is nothing like there is pressure. We will play as a unit and not think about the result. Pressure is there but we have to find a way to handle it, it's up to us whether we enjoy it or let the pressure get to us,” he added.

Notably, India A will cross swords with Pakistan A at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, July 19.
