In a nerve-wracking last over, Chennai Super Kings were left requiring 15 runs to win with MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease. Yash Dayal bowled under extreme pressure, giving away just 11 runs off and he sent Dhoni packing in the process. With the equation heavily against CSK, Shivam Dube came out to bat and sent his very first ball over the boundary which also happened to be a no-ball.
Yash Dayal’s Heroics In Last Over Under Pressure
Even though there was a setback, Dayal remained calm and conceded just four runs off the last three balls, defending six runs to give Royal Challengers Bengaluru a dramatic victory. Dayal finished his four-over spell with 1 wicket for 41 runs, at an economy of 10.20.
Dinesh Karthik Lauds Yash Dayal
“Good choice of words there – work ethic. He is right up there with some of the best that is there in India, the one thing that you see with the young crop of cricketers is how much they work hard behind the scenes, Yash is someone who is very diligent, comes to meeting with a paper and writes down everything that he wants to do, the execution might be up and down at times, but one thing you will not get less from him is effort.”

“He Has Got A Special Skill”
“He always has a plan, he has got a special skill and that is one of the reasons we retained him. I think wrist spinners are worried that they will get hit, but Suyash’s name might not be there in the wickets column, but his work has helped Krunal Pandya pick wickets,” he added.
With this most important victory, RCB gained the leadership position in the points table of the IPL 2025, finishing their eighth out of 11 matches. Meanwhile, CSK’s plight got worse as they fell to the ninth loss this season, ensuring that they are still rooted in the lowest point in the list.
