In IPL 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) orchestrated a remarkable turnaround from a poor start, just as their bowler Yash Dayal resurrected his career after a challenging 2023 season.

Yash Dayal's journey from IPL 2023 to IPL 2024 stands as a testament to resilience and determination, marking one of the most inspiring tales in IPL history. 

From struggling to defend 29 runs in the last over to successfully stopping the mighty MS Dhoni, Dayal's transformation is remarkable. 

A great portion of credit in Dayal's comeback is owed to RCB for their unwavering faith in the pacer during his darkest moments. After the famous win, Yash Dayal thanked RCB for trusting him in his lowest phase.

 "RCB told from day 1 that I'm an important player for them. They've backed me to the core, the results you're seeing now are due to their backing and trusting on me" - Yash Dayal said.


The Redemption arc of Yash Dayal

In 2023, during a tense game against Kolkata, Yash Dayal was given the ball to defend 29 runs in the last over. Unfortunately, he was hit for five sixes by Rinku Singh, leading to GT's loss. 

Dayal struggled afterward emotionally and fell ill, eventually being dropped by the Gujarat team. However, RCB picked him in the mini auctions, supporting him from the start. 

In IPL 2024, Dayal made a strong comeback, redeeming himself by dismissing MS Dhoni in the final over, helping RCB win. Yash Dayal defended 17 runs in the last over against Dhoni and Jadeja.
