Let’s focus on the essence of the story. During the RCB vs. PBKS IPL 2024 match, former India left-arm spinner Murali Kartik made a rather nasty remark about fast bowler Yash Dayal during his commentary duties. Despite Yash Dayal’s commendable performance, Kartik referred to him as “trash” on air. However, RCB (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) swiftly came to their star pacer’s defense.
In a cryptic three-word reply, RCB posted a message on their social media account with a picture of Yash Dayal. The succinct response read: “He’s treasure. Period.” This subtle dig at Kartik’s comments emphasized Dayal’s value and talent.
Yash Dayal had bowled an impressive spell against the Punjab Kings, conceding only 23 runs in his four overs and taking the crucial wicket of Sam Curran. Comedian and host Danish Sait, known for portraying the Mr. Nags character on RCB’s social media, was among the first to criticize Kartik’s “trash” remark, questioning how someone could label Dayal in such a manner.
In the match, RCB secured a victory by 4 wickets against the Punjab Kings. Shikhar Dhawan top-scored for the Kings with 45 runs, while RCB’s bowlers, including Yash Dayal, played a pivotal role in restricting the opposition to 176/6. Virat Kohli’s explosive 77-run knock further propelled RCB to success.
Yash Dayal’s performance proved that sometimes, what one person considers “trash” can be another’s treasure. 🏏💎
