Yash Dhull, the promising young cricketer who led India to victory in the Under-19 World Cup, recently faced a life-threatening situation. It has been revealed that the 21-year-old underwent heart surgery after a routine check-up at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru uncovered a serious issue—a hole in his heart.
The Shocking Discovery
During a routine health assessment at the NCA, doctors discovered the condition, which required immediate attention. Yash’s childhood coach, Pradeep Kochar, shared that the NCA doctors were quick to advise surgery. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took swift action, ensuring that Yash received the best medical care possible. The surgery was successfully performed in Delhi, and thanks to the timely intervention, Yash has now fully recovered.
BCCI’s Crucial Role
The BCCI played an instrumental role in saving Yash’s life. They not only facilitated his surgery but also stayed in constant touch with his family throughout the process. Their support continued even after the surgery, as they monitored his recovery and ensured he received a fitness certificate from the NCA, allowing him to return to the field.
Yash Dhull’s Promising Career
Yash Dhull is not just a survivor but also a rising star in Indian cricket. He first made headlines as the captain of the India Under-19 team in 2022, leading them to World Cup glory with stellar performances, including a century in the semi-finals. His success continued in domestic cricket, where he debuted for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy in 2022, scoring centuries in both innings against Tamil Nadu. His debut season was nothing short of spectacular, with 479 runs at an average of 119.75, including three centuries and a double century against Chhattisgarh.
Now, fully recovered and playing in the Delhi Premier League, Yash Dhull continues to shine, with his fitness closely monitored by the BCCI. His journey is a testament to the importance of regular health check-ups and the unwavering support of the cricketing fraternity.
