Gujarat Titans bowler Yash Dayal was left numb after Rinku Singh took the attack to him in the final over to smash five consecutive sixes on Sunday in IPL 2023. It was a tough outing for Yash who was impressive for the Titans in IPL 2022. He conceded a mammoth 31 runs in the last over when KKR needed 29 runs to win. Rinku Singh slammed five sixes off last five deliveries off Yash to pull off a heist leaving the latter dejected. However, Yash Dayal has been a very good bowler for Uttar Pradesh over the years and his performance in KKR vs GT game can be considered only as a blip.

Here are some of the facts of Yash Dayal you should know:
