Yash had tested positive for COVID-19 midway U19 World Cup and he had to miss group-stage matches against Ireland and Uganda. However, he recovered in time for the clash against Bangladesh.
“It was very tough for Yash Dhull and we used to talk to him every morning and evening and physically he was looking just fine but we just told him to be positive because you just have to rest. It is not easy to stay alone for ten days in isolation but he stayed positive and his trainer helped him a lot. So, he did not feel any problem. His teammates too like Rashid I saw were giving their 100 per cent,” he added.
India will now lock horns against Australia in the semi-final on Wednesday, February 2.
“All the teams who have reached this far have done very well. The boys have also gone there to perform. They are taking less pressure which is good and we hope that they do well in the upcoming matches,” said Yash’s father.
