Islamabad, Sep 9: India and Bangladesh will play the first of their two Test matches. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the Indian lineup for the two-match home series ahead of the eagerly awaited series, which follows a little hiatus for Team India following Bangladesh’s historic series victory over Pakistan.
Yash Dayal, the fast bowler who let up five sixes in an over in the 2023 Indian Premier League, has earned his first call-up to the Indian team, even though the rest of the squad mostly follows the script. Following an exceptional redemption arc, Yash Dayal hit five sixes in one over during the final over of the IPL 2023 league stage match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The Gujarat Titans (GT) seamer at the time became unwell.
In a subsequent game, the former GT captain Hardik disclosed that his health had declined and he was unable to play.After that bout, he was sick and dropped seven or eight kilos. In addition to the pressure he had been under, there was a viral virus outbreak during that time, and his current health isn’t good enough for him to play. At the end of the day, someone’s loss is someone else’s gain. Before we see him on the field, it will take some time,” Hardik stated in a conversation with Star Sports.
Dayal didn’t give up though. Even though GT released him into the auction pool, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) paid Rs 5 crore to acquire him, and he had an exceptional performance. He took 15 wickets for the team in 14 games, with a high of 3/20. Dayal has been able to move over his one poor over against Rinku Singh and make his way into the Indian test team thanks to his IPL performance and his stats in domestic cricket.
