In the virtual elimination match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2024 Indian Premier League, Yash Dayal made amends by delivering the tense final over. In the last over, he held MS Dhoni at the strike, defending 27 runs. The game changed with Dhoni’s wicket, and CSK just needed to score 18 of the arduous runs to qualify for the playoffs.
When Dayal bowled the opening ball of the over, the seasoned player hit a massive blowout. When Dhoni was caught at the boundary rope in the second delivery, it turned out to be disastrous for the IPL 2023 winners. The right-arm bowler disclosed that Virat Kohli’s motivational speech about bowling the slower players and staying away from yorkers had aided him in his quest.
“I told Virat bhaiya not to give pace to Mahi bhai because he likes pace, so after the first ball six, a chat with him really helped me relax,” Dayal stated, as cited by News24.

Dayal provided insight into Kohli’s behaviour off the pitch as well. The previous captain of the Royal Cricket Club is regarded as the field’s most aggressive cricketer. However, the 26-year-old disclosed that Kohli is not how people think him to be when he’s playing. With the victory, RCB advanced to the postseason. In the Eliminator 2, they were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals.

“On social media, he is portrayed as someone who is really violent, but that is not who he is. He came over and gave me a lot of explanations when I tried to speak with him. Everyone is aware of the season I experienced with the Gujarat Titans. After that, my health declined. Though I went into this season with a lot of uncertainties, I didn’t skip a single practice, Dayal continued.
