'Cometh the hour, Cometh the man' is an old saying but perfectly fits for Indian under 19 captain Yash Dhull who smashed a century in the World Cup semifinal against Australia. 

India were struggling at 37/2 in 12.3 overs after opting to bat first in the high-pressure game when Yash arrived at the crease. He along with vice-captain Shaik Rasheed understood the situation brilliantly. 

Both Dhull and Rasheed began rotating the strike without taking any risk. Neither of the batters showed aggression and respected the bowlers. In the first 25 overs, India only made 86 runs. 

However, India didn't lose any wicket. Dhull began to take charge and started finding the boundaries. He reached his fifty soon with a four towards mid-wicket in the 31st over and continued with the momentum. 

In the 45th over, Dhull completed his century to become the third Indian captain to get to triple figures after Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand. Coincidentally, all three batters play for Delhi.

Dhull, in this tournament, got out for the second time - both run-outs. This time an unlucky one out where Rasheed hit the ball straight that touched the bowler's hand and crashed into non-strikers' stumps. In three innings he played, Yash Dhull scored - 82, 20*, 110. 

Yash Dhull Is only the third Indian Captain after Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand to score a century in the U-19 World Cup!
