Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The meteoric rise of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has made him one of the biggest comeback stories of the tournament. The left-arm speedster led his side to the playoffs after bowling the crucial last over against defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a must-win game.

Defending the target of 17 runs for the playoffs spot, Yash conceded only seven runs in the over, despite being hit for a 110m six on the first ball by M.S Dhoni. He picked Dhoni on the next ball and bowled four dot balls in the over to victory and make it six wins on a trot for the franchise.

The pacer's father Chandarpal Dayal lauded his son's effort in RCB's vital match and said his last-over heroics will wash off the negative impression of being hit for five consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh in the last edition of the tournament.
