A year ago, fast bowler Yash Dayal fell ill after receiving online abuse for being hit for five sixes in an over by Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) batsman Rinku Singh. A year on from that day, when Dayal used to play for the Gujarat Titans, the right-arm pace redeemed himself in the tournament, albeit in a different jersey.
Bowling the last over in the crucial IPL 2024 match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Dayal (2/43) held his nerves to stop CSK from reaching the 201-run mark, which would have put RCB out of the tournament.
