‘God’s plan baby’: Rinku Singh’s ‘absolute class’ gesture for Yash Dayal wins hearts of all after pacer leads RCB to IPL 2024 playoffs

Yash Dayal's redemption story is a heartwarming reminder that perseverance and hard work can overcome any setback

Yash Dayal’s journey in the IPL has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From conceding a record number of sixes in a single over last year against Rinku Singh to becoming the hero who secured Royal Challengers Bengaluru‘s (RCB) playoff berth in IPL 2024, Dayal’s story is one of redemption and resilience.

Last season, playing for Gujarat Titans, Yash Dayal’s final over against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) became a nightmare. He conceded a record-breaking five sixes against Rinku Singh, a memory that left many questioning his capabilities. Murali Karthik, a renowned commentator, even went as far as calling him “trash.”

Despite the criticism, RCB saw potential in Dayal, picking him up for a hefty sum in the IPL 2024 auction. The faith they showed paid off in spectacular fashion.

Dayal propels RCB to IPL 2024 Playoffs

In a nail-biting final league-stage match against CSK on Saturday, RCB needed to win not just the game but also by a specific margin to qualify for the playoffs based on net run rate.

With the match hanging in the balance, the responsibility fell on Yash Dayal’s young shoulders in the final over as he had to defend 17 runs in that 20th over. He not only held his nerve but also rose to the occasion, conceding just seven runs and crucially dismissing the legendary MS Dhoni, who had smashed him for a six on the very first ball of the over.

Yash Dayal’s performance was a remarkable turnaround from his previous IPL experience. His story of redemption resonated with his fellow Uttar Pradesh cricketer, Rinku Singh, the very batsman who had hit those five sixes off Dayal last season.

Rinku Singh, KKR star, displayed true sportsmanship by posting a message on social media that read, “God’s plan baby,” celebrating Dayal’s success.

Yash Dayal’s redemption story is a heartwarming reminder that perseverance and hard work can overcome any setback. His heroics not only secured RCB’s playoff spot but also earned him the respect of his peers, proving that even in the competitive world of cricket, sportsmanship and camaraderie can exist.
