Yash Dayal’s Journey: From Trolling to Triumph in IPL 2024

Yash Dayal, the talented pacer, faced severe trolling after being picked by RCB for Rs 5 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Recalling the tough times, his father Chandarpal shared the challenges they encountered when Yash was mercilessly trolled for his performance last year while playing for GT against KKR’s Rinku Singh.

Despite the ridicule, RCB secured Yash’s services after a heated bidding war. His father revealed how even after the auction, critics mocked the franchise for investing heavily in the 26-year-old seamer.

Dayal’s family endured relentless trolling, prompting them to exit most WhatsApp groups to avoid negativity. Despite efforts to disconnect from social media, disparaging remarks persisted.

However, Yash Dayal silenced his critics with a stellar performance, helping RCB qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs. In a crucial match against CSK, Dayal’s remarkable bowling helped RCB secure a 27-run victory at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite conceding a six to MS Dhoni in the final over, Dayal made a stunning comeback, restricting the 5-time champions.

Dayal emerged as RCB’s top wicket-taker, claiming 15 scalps in 13 matches with an impressive economy rate of 8.94.

As RCB gears up to face RR in the Eliminator on Wednesday, May 22 in Ahmedabad, Dayal’s journey from facing criticism to becoming a key player highlights the resilience and determination of a true champion.
