The pacer recounts his journey from then to making a stunning comeback for RCB against PBKS.
“To be honest, I had a problem after the match. I was advised not to look at social media. But I did have a look at few posts. I spoke to my family after that. I was hurt by what people were thinking about me. Two or three days later, I fell ill. I recovered then and played the match and kept my focus on that. I knew that I am not the first person with whom these things can happen nor am I the last one. So i focused on playing more matches and ensured that I can get into to a headspace to tackle such situations,” Yash Dayal revealed.
