Yash Dayal Fitness: Gujarat Titans fast bowler Yash Dayal was hit for 5 consecutive sixes in 5 balls in Kolkata vs Gujarat match on 9th April. KKR needed 28 runs in the last 5 balls to win and here Rinku Singh hit Yash Dayal for six consecutive sixes. Yash Dayal has been out of Gujarat’s playing-11 since this match. When captain Hardik Pandya was asked the reason for this, he made a surprising disclosure.
In a conversation with Star Sports, Hardik said, can’t say anything about Yash’s return. He is ill at present. His weight has reduced by seven to eight kilos. He was in the grip of viral fever. His condition is not such that he can enter the field. I think there is still a long time for his return.
Before Hardik’s statement, it was believed that Yash was kept out of Gujarat’s playing-11 due to his inability to handle the pressure situation. His performance this season was also not good. He appeared in all the three matches of IPL 2023 but he could not get a single wicket. Then the way he was thrashed in the last over of the match against KKR would probably be the worst moment of his career.
Dayal shone in the last season
This 25-year-old young bowler proved to be an important bowler for Gujarat Titans last season. Yash took 11 wickets in 9 matches in IPL 2022. Although his economy rate was high in the last season as well. He had looted more than 9 runs per over.
