‘We already expected it’ – Yash Dhull’s father opens up on why Delhi Capitals bought him at the IPL mega auction

The Delhi Capitals pouched India’s Under 19 skipper Yash Dhull in the 2022 IPL mega auction for INR 50 Lakh. And, Dhull’s father has now opened up on his son being bought by the Delhi Capitals.

Yash Dhull’s father, Vijay Dhull admitted that when a player registers for the IPL auction and is going under the hammer, he does not have an idea of which team is going to pick him. However, he also stated that since Yash Dhull has practiced at the Delhi Capitals’ academy for 8 years and because of his association with the franchise the youngster was picked by the Rishabh Pant led side.

“When you register for the auctions and as a player when you are going under the hammer, it is not your choice, and beyond your control as to which side would pick you. But with Yash already being associated with Delhi Capitals Academy at Bal Bhavan, Dwarka for a long time now, where he had practiced for the last seven-eight years, we had already expected that he would most likely be picked by Delhi Capitals,” said Yash Dhull’s father in a chat with India Tv.

It motivates the local boys if they get to represent the state-based franchise in the IPL: Yash Dhull’s father

Yash Dhull’s father also said that if the local players get the opportunity to play for their city-based franchise in the IPL, it will motivate them. Vijay Dhull concluded by stating that his son is happy after being picked by the Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2022.

“Also, I feel that if the local boys get to play and represent their state-based franchise in the IPL, it motivates them immensely, and also as rookies they are in a comparatively comfortable homely fabric. Even if you see the other young boys, they are taken by their local teams only. Yash was happy about being picked by DC,” concluded Vijay Dhull.
