Yash Dayal, RCB Star’s Father Remembers the Taunts. Here’s what they are!
Yash Dayal maintained his composure in equivalent to MS Dhoni and Rabindra Jadeja as his team, RCB defeated CSK to secure their spot in the 2024 playoffs.
For a fast bowler like Yash Dayal, it was a tough journey in the IPL. Hailing from UP he joined Gujarat Titans last year, 2023 but in a bad place. That very moment his name became a household name when Rinku Singh thumped him 5 sixes to give KKR the victory.
Later he became a meme all over the internet. This was escalated when RCB picked him for 5 crores for the IPL 2024. The internet was buzzing with people saying that RBC had wasted their money by putting on him, but it was just time when Yash Dayal proved them wrong with a match-winning performance against CSK.
Yash Dayal, RCB Star’s Father Remembers the Taunts.
His father opened up on the trolls that were shared against his son said, “In one of the WhatsApp groups, a person I know shared a meme, mocking Yash for conceding five sixes and I still remember what he wrote with the picture ‘Prayagraj Express ki kahaani shuru hone se pehle hi khatam ho gayi (The story of Prayagraj Express got over before it even began)”
“It never stopped, we as a family quit all WhatsApp groups, barring our family one. Even when RCB picked him in the auction for Rs 5 crore, I remember someone saying ‘Paise naale mei baha aaye Bangalore waale (The franchise threw the money in the drain)’. We live in a world where even if you switch off from social media, you will end up seeing all kinds of stuff,” he also added.
He concluded by saying, “Everyone wrote him off. And today, I am receiving a number of congratulatory calls and messages. Still, no one is talking about his hard work, grind, and the way he tackled the pressure. The slower bouncer he has developed, the other variations he has learned in the last year. The way he has bowled at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where even an edge goes for a six. But it’s fine because in one year, we as a family have realized cricket really is a funny game,”
