Whatever [amount and team] you get in the auction, is good. You will get new coaches with the IPL team, so sincerely work and practise with them,” is Kochar’s message to his ward.

Dhull has joined the Delhi Ranji Trophy team which will play their opening game against Tamil Nadu at Guwahati from February 17. “Yash just needs to think about the Ranji Trophy. He has to stay balanced as this is just the beginning,” Kochar told mid-day from Delhi.

Meanwhile, Dhull’s father Vijay said his son is ready for both—IPL and the red-ball challenge in first-class cricket. “We are not thinking about the IPL. Whatever will happen, will happen. If you want to play for a long time, you need to focus on cricket and not...[other things]. If you play well all things will automatically follow you. If you perform, the IPL team will pick you, otherwise they’ll drop you,” Dhull Sr remarked.
