MUMBAI: Caught in a controversy, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat Titans fast bowler Yash Dayal, clarified on Monday that his Instagram account was hacked and a post from his account that was shared on the social media platform, containing an Islamophobic cartoon, didn't reveal his "true beliefs."
"Dear all, there were two stories posted on my Insta handle today - both of which weren’t done by me. I have reported the matter to authorities as I believe my account is being accessed by someone else and used for posting. I am trying to regain full control of my Instagram account. I respect all communities and the picture shared today does not reveal my true beliefs," Dayal said in a statement to the media.
