Skipper Yash Dhull gave a glimpse of his enormous talent with a superbly-crafted hundred as he joined his seniors Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand in an elite list after India thrashed Australia by 96 runs in the blockbuster semifinal of the ongoing ICC U-19 Men바카라s World Cup 2022 on Wednesday.

Dhull바카라s scored a run-a-ball 110, which included 10 fours and a six, to become the third Indian captain to hit a hundred in the tournament's history after illustrious Kohli바카라s 100 in 2008 (vs West Indies) and Chand바카라s 111 not out (vs Australia) four years later.
Interestingly, all three hail from Delhi and India won the title both under Kohli and Chand. 바카라It바카라s a proud moment (to be the third Indian captain to score a U-19 World Cup ton after Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand),바카라 Dhull said after the win. India will face England, who defeated Afghanistan, in the final on February 5.
Going into the match as favourites, India opted to put runs on the board after winning the toss, despite knowing it wasn바카라t the easiest of pitches to bat on. India were two down inside 15 overs when Dhull along with his deputy Shaik Rasheed steadied the Indian ship.
The duo put up a huge 204 runs for the third wicket to pile up a score that might well be beyond Australia바카라s reach as India posted 290/5 in 50 overs. Rasheed missed on a well-deserved ton by six runs. Australia leaked as many as 108 runs in the last 10 overs with the 50th over going for 27.
바카라The idea was to bat steadily, not to try too many shots, and to bat past the 40th over. Myself and Rasheed bat well together, we combine well and it showed,바카라 Dhull said. 바카라Rasheed is mentally very strong. We were in the bubble together and he is always mentally prepared.바카라
Chasing a record target, Australia lost their in-form opener, Teague Wyllie, before Campbell Kellaway (30) and Corey Miller (38) forged a fluent 68-run stand before perishing in a space of six balls, leaving Australia at 73 for three.
Lachlan Shaw tried his best with a fighting 51 but that wasn바카라t enough as they were bowled out for 194 41.5 overs. 바카라Look going into the last 10 we thought we were in a pretty good position, but they got the upper hand on us and scored 100 in that last 10, so yeah, I reckon 290 was a little bit too much for us,바카라 Australia skipper Cooper Connolly said.
