Yash Dayal Open Up On Virat Kohli’s Words: Yash Dayal’s name came into the limelight in the Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL 2023), but unfortunately for the wrong reasons. While playing for Gujarat Titans, he was hit for five consecutive sixes in an over by Kolkata Knight Riders’ Rinku Singh. This incident proved to be a big setback for Yash’s career and had a profound impact on his confidence. After this incident, Gujarat Titans did not keep him in their team for the next season and it seemed that Yash’s career was on the verge of ending.
But then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) gave Yash a chance. Royal Challengers bought him for Rs 5 crore in IPL 2024, which raised many questions. But Virat Kohli’s support brought a new turn in Yash’s career. Virat Kohli not only gave Yash confidence but also made him feel comfortable in the environment of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Yash Dayal told how Virat Kohli boosted his confidence. Talking to Sports Tak, Dayal said, “The biggest thing he (Kohli) told me was that he would support me throughout the season. He told me that I would not feel like I have come to a new place, and he supported me completely. This was a huge encouragement for me and he talks to young players in a very good way and he is contrary to what people say on TV. I don’t feel like that.”
The effect of this support from Virat Kohli was seen on the field. Yash Dayal performed brilliantly for RCB in the IPL 2024 season, taking 15 wickets and played an important role in taking the team to the playoffs. He not only proved the critics wrong with his performance, but also demonstrated his ability.
