The North Zone batter’s 112-ball ton with 11 fours plus two sixes signals sustained form after recent lean seasons.

  • Playing for North Zone against East Zone on August 30, Dhull hit his eighth first-class hundred and his second in the Duleep Trophy, having first scored against East in 2021–22.
  • He followed a 101 off 56 in the Delhi Premier League earlier this month, extending a run of strong scores across formats.
  • Dhull and stand-in captain Ankit Kumar put on a partnership exceeding 200 for the second wicket, reached tea on 132 apiece, then Dhull fell lbw to East skipper Riyan Parag for 133.
  • He had earlier made 39 in the first innings as North Zone posted 405 and dismissed East for 230 to secure a hefty lead before batting again.
  • The 22-year-old, India’s 2022 U19 World Cup-winning captain, has rebounded after two lean domestic seasons, tallying 444 runs at 49.33 in 2024–25.
