Listen to Story RCB pacer Yash Dayal revealed his conversation with his mother right after his heroic final over against CSK on May 19, which played a crucial role in his team's emphatic qualification for the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Dayal revealed how he called up his mother to check up on her health, as he knew how tensed she would be while watching the intense final over of the match. The RCB skipper, Faf du Plessis, entrusted the final and deciding over to Dayal with the task of defending 17 runs against CSK's star batters, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja.
The 26-year-old faced an early scare after Dhoni sent the very first ball of his over for a 110-meter-long six, which Dayal later revealed to have given him horror flashbacks of his disastrous over to KKR's Rinku Sringh back in IPL 2023. As a part of GT's bowling attack last season, Dayal faced a lot of criticism and slandering after he failed to defend 28 runs against KKR by getting hit for 5 sixes in-a-row by Rinku Singh. However, Dayal's match-winning last-over against CSK , shunned all that noise and that too in some emphatic fashion.
