Uploading pictures of Holi celebrations with his DC teammates on Instagram, the youngster wrote:
“Celebrating colours. Celebrating brotherhood. Happy Holi everyone.”

“This is my first time in the IPL and I am giving my 100 percent” - Yash Dhull
On Wednesday, Yash Dhull, Vicky Ostwal and Ashwin Hebbar had their first training session with the Delhi Capitals. Speaking about joining the DC franchise, Dhull had said:
“This is my first time in the IPL and I am giving my 100 percent in everything that I am doing.”
He also expressed excitement over the opportunity to interact with some of the game's big names. The 19-year-old added:
“I am looking forward to interacting with Rishabh bhaiyya (Pant) and David Warner. I am also very excited to meet Ricky Ponting. He has been a great player and a great human being. It will be a big achievement for me to interact with him.”

He smashed hundreds in both innings in his first Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu. In the game against Chhattisgarh, he hammered an unbeaten double hundred in the second innings.
