Yash Dhull, India's U19 World Cup-winning captain, was purchased by the Delhi Capitals (DC) for Rs 50 lakh on Sunday during the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) mega auction in Bengaluru. Dhull was rewarded with an IPL contract on Sunday after leading India to a record-extending fifth U19 World Cup title earlier this month. He described the development as a "dream come true." "Hello, Delhi Capitals. Thank you for believing in me and choosing me in the auctions. For the past 8-9 years, I have been a member of the Delhi Capitals Bal Bhavan Academy. As a result, this is a dream come true for me. I am very excited to join the team and am prepared to give my all "Dhull was quoted as saying 

Meanwhile, two of Dhull's teammates from the U19 World Cup-winning team, Raj Bawa and Rajvardhan Hangargekar, landed big deals in the IPL auction on Sunday.

The Punjab Kings (PBKS) paid Rs 2 crore for Bawa, while the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) paid Rs 1.5 crore for Hangargekar.

However, Harnoor Singh and Vicky Ostwal were unable to find buyers at the ongoing auction.

The IPL 2022 auction will take place over two days and will conclude later on Sunday.

Ishan Kishan was the most expensive purchase in the auction, with Mumbai Indians paying a whopping Rs 15.25 crore for him.
