Ice-cool Yash Dayal’s redemption act for RCB
Hindustan TimesStuart Broad, Ben Stokes, and now Yash Dayal. Royal Challengers Bengaluru player Yash Dayal celebrates after Bengaluru won the Indian Premier League 2024 cricket match against Chennai Super Kings, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Six years after being carted for four consecutive sixes by Carlos Brathwaite in the final over of the 2016 T20 World Cup at Eden Gardens, he scored the winning run to complete England’s 2022 T20 World Cup triumph. On Saturday night in Bengaluru before a packed stadium, Dayal successfully defended 17 runs in the final over to guide Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the IPL playoffs, beating Chennai Super Kings in a do-or-die final league encounter. Dayal would have a content night’s sleep on Friday night after RCB caught the fourth playoff berth with their sixth consecutive victory in a tournament comeback for the ages.
