Yash Dayal gets support from Vijay Shankar
“Last year, Yash Dayal bowled some very important overs for Gujarat Titans, to win us the tournament. You cannot define a player based on one over in a game. Everyone has worked so hard to reach the stage of IPL, having worked so hard in domestic cricket.”
“These things are bound to happen and so many players have been in tough situation. As a team, we will be with Dayal because it is not easy to come out of a situation like this. We will make sure that he is in a very good mental space going forward.”
Following the match, big names like Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag, etc. were all praise for Singh. Some messages from the fraternity came for Yash Dayal as well.
