The BCCI recently announced the Indian Test squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.
Fast bowler Yash Dayal has been included in the squad. Who was Yash Dayal earlier?
Yash Dayal’s name first figured in a thrilling match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders in April 2023.
Kolkata Knight Riders need 28 runs from the last 6 balls to win the match.
Fast bowler Yash Dayal has been entrusted with the responsibility of bowling the last over for Gujarat Titans.
Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Rinku Singh is at the crease.
Gujarat Titans looked set to win the match easily.
However, Rinku Singh changed the outcome of the match by hitting five sixes in the over bowled by Yash Dayal.
Praises to Rinku, doubts on Yash
After the match, on the one hand there was a debate about Rinku Singh’s destructive batting, while on the other hand doubts were raised over Yash Dayal’s career.
Yash Dayal didn’t even get a chance in the matches that followed.
So how did Yash Dayal get a place in the Test team?
In fact, medium fast bowler Yash Dayal has forgotten the bitter memories of the IPL and performed better in domestic cricket. In the last season of the Ranji Trophy, he took seven wickets in four matches for Uttar Pradesh.
After that, he took 9 wickets in six matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
After this performance, Yash Dayal got a chance in the Duleep Trophy.
He took four wickets while playing for India ‘B’. Yash’s performance helped his team beat India ‘A’ by 76 runs.
