“Kaisa feel kar rahi ho”- Yash Dayal asks his mother after powering RCB to IPL 2024 playoffs

Yash Dayal’s redemption in the ongoing IPL 2024 is a success story of ages. Not many had given him the chance to turn things around after the fateful outing against Kolkata Knight Riders last year when Rinku Singh smashed him for five straight sixes to pull off a miraculous win for his team.

For a player who was still trying to make a name for himself at the grand stage, becoming a household name for all the wrong reasons was a body blow. One person who just could not deal with the setback was not Yash Dayal but his mother Radha Dayal. She had fallen ill after the game and reportedly stopped eating as well.

The pacer was also struggling to deal with the setback. He lost his place in the playing XI after the game and was also struggling mentally. However, the Uttar Pradesh star has turned things around in style in the ongoing season. A year after failing to defend almost 30 runs in five balls, he defended 11 runs in five balls against Chennai Super Kings to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the playoffs.

Yash Dayal calls his mother after starring against CSK:

What makes the achievement even more incredible is that he did it while two of the league’s best finishers were at the crease – MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja. CSK needed 17 runs in the final over to qualify for the playoffs and Dhoni started the over on a perfect note by hitting Yash Dayal for a huge six.

However, Yash Dayal bounced back by dismissing the former India skipper on the very next ball before going on to concede only 1 run in the next 4 balls. After the starring display with the ball, the first thing that Yash Dayal did was to call his mother.

“Kaisa feel kar rahi ho (how are you feeling mom?),” the pacer asked her mother on a video call.

The pacer’s father Chandrapal also revealed that his son told his mother that he was confident of stopping Dhoni in the final over.

“I was confident of pulling it off after the first-ball six and was calm and composed, Yash said about the last over,” Chandrapal told PTI.

Speaking further, he recalled the game against KKR as he said: “Woh darawana sapna firse aa raha tha jab Dhoni ne pehli ball pe sixer mara (That terrifying dream of last season started to haunt me when Dhoni hit that 110-m six off the first ball).”

“But deep inside, I knew something good will happen this time. It’s all the result of his hardwork, full credit to him. The God has been kind,” he added.
