WATCH: Yash Dhull Goes Down The Track And Smacks A Six In The U19 WC Semi-Final

In the 2nd semi-final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2022, the India U19 team defeated Australia U19 by 96 runs at Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua, and advanced to the finals of the U19 World Cup for a consecutive 4th time. India scored 290/5 in the first innings, courtesy of captain Yash Dhull's 110 and vice-captain Shaik Rasheed's 94.

Yash Dhull played a captain's knock while coming in at 27/2, and joined forces with Sheik Rasheed to stitch a 204 runs partnership. Dhull became the 3rd Indian captain to score a century in the U19 World Cup, after Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand. 

The 19-year old scored 110 runs off 110 balls, including ten fours and a six. This six by Yash Dhull was a treat for all the fans, as he displayed skills and timing while advancing down the track. Moreover, this shot was special as the Indian skipper smacked it against Tom Whitney, a pacer!

Yash Dhull on the 5th delivery of the 45th over danced down the track against Tom Whitney and smacked the ball over long-on to score the only six of his innings.
