Speaking to TimesofIndia.com on Tuesday, here's what Yash Dhull had to say about the possibility of meeting Virat Kohli:
"I am eager to meet Virat bhaiya. He has been my inspiration. I have always idolized him. I want to interact with him and take a lot of tips from him. I want to ask him how he bats in crunch and high-pressure games, how he manages to control his mind, and how he took his fitness to another level."
Keen to learn a lot more about leadership abilities from Kohli, Dhull said:
"I have led the Under-19 team but the way Virat bhaiya handled his team and players was amazing. I want to ask him how he managed his team and ensured his players stay pressure-free so that they can put in their best performances."
