Dhull, who captained India to the 2022 U-19 World Cup triumph, went under the knife in the first half of July, 2024.

A small hole was detected in Dhull's heart when routine scans were conducted during the U-23 high performance camp at the NCA.

"It was not a major surgery," said Rajesh Nagar, Dhull's coach for more than a decade, to PTI.

It took Dhull about 10 to 15 days to recover from the surgery, added the coach.

A hole in the heart is usually a birth defect but surprisingly in Dhull's case, it was only detected while he was at the NCA in June-July.

Yash Dhul even played for India's Under-19 team with the hole in his heart.
