‘He's treasure...' - RCB Team responds to Murali Karthik’s controversial remarks on Yash Dayal
Former cricketer turned commentator Murali Karthik was recently grilled on social media for his controversial remark over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Yash Dayal. The shocking remarks came during the sixth match of IPL 2024 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 25th.
Yash Dayal came to attack in the power play as the Punjab batters were looking to score big in the first innings. Dayal conceded mere four runs in the two overs he bowled during the powerplay. Karthik who was sitting in the commentary box said “Someone’s Trash is someone’s treasure”, while referring to Yash Dayal who was recently welcomed in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad in the IPL 2024 auction.
Dayal, who was previously part of the Gujarat Titans, got criticised for getting smashed for five sixes by Rinku Singh in the final over of the team’s league match against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023. The game affected Yash Dayal’s confidence as he was subsequently dropped and released by the Gujarat Titans squad ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.
