Yash Dhull’s Hamstring Injury Threatens His Duleep Trophy Semi‑Final Appearance

Yash Dhull, the 21‑year‑old right‑handed batsman who has been a standout performer in the Duleep Trophy, was diagnosed with a hamstring strain during the team’s pre‑match training session. The injury was confirmed by the team physiotherapist, who said the muscle fibers showed signs of micro‑tears that could sideline him for several days.

Dhull’s absence would leave the North Zone side without one of its most reliable top‑order options as they prepare for the semi‑final against South Zone. The match, scheduled for this weekend, is a crucial step toward the tournament’s final, and selectors are now forced to consider a replacement from the reserve pool.

Team management released a brief statement indicating that Dhull will undergo intensive physiotherapy and that a final decision on his fitness will be taken after a re‑assessment on Friday. If he recovers in time, he could be cleared to play; otherwise, the squad will have to adjust its batting order.
