After scoring a century in the Delhi Premier League, Yash Dhull feels that staying in the present is the mantra and aims to make the most of the opportunities that are coming his way.
While speaking to PTI, Dhull said, "I am thinking about how I can grab the opportunity that I have. If you think too much about the future, you can't play well in the present".
In the Delhi Premier League match against North Delhi Strikers, representing Central Delhi Kings, Dhull smashed 105 runs. Facing 51 deliveries, he registered 14 boundaries and four maximums.
The right-hander also said that the lessons at the BCCI Centre of Excellence on how to shift the game from white ball to red ball are also helping him.
"I am living in the present and doing my practice side by side. Yes, batting a bit against the red-ball, the lessons at the National Cricket Academy (now BCCI Centre of Excellence) on how to switch from white ball to red ball cricket are helping me a lot right now," he added.
Earlier, he had undergone heart surgery for a minor congenital issue, following which the cricketer had to pause, analyse and bounce back.
Speaking about the difficult phase in his career, he said, "That incident helped me a lot because I got to know what all I can do. No one was standing with me at that time. I knew I was alone, and I had no choice but to make a comeback. I just kept myself mentally strong".
"(But) I had confidence in myself. I knew I would play again one day, and I knew how to make it and how I will make it," he added.
In his debut Ranji Trophy season in 2021-22, he finished as Delhi's leading run-getter with 479 runs in six innings at an average of 119.75, scoring hundreds in both innings of his debut and an unbeaten double century against Chhattisgarh.
Last season was steadier, in which 286 runs across seven matches came at 40.90 and two centuries, signalling the steady rise after the surgery.
In DPL, Dhull has piled up 292 runs at 146 and a strike rate of 180.25 in five innings, placing third among the leading run-scorers.
But the 2024-25 season brought more than runs; it brought refinement. Yash Dhull's technique now features a subtle trigger movement, a tweak he credits with adding balance to his game.
