Yash Dayal
Right-hand bat
Yash Dayal, a bowler, played four IPL seasons for two franchises. Two titles came along the way.
The arrival
Yash Dayal arrived through the auction: Gujarat Titans paid ₹3.20 cr, against a base price of ₹20 lakh. That debut came after going unsold once (2020).
That first season brought 9 matches and 11 wickets at 9.11 an over, and ended with Gujarat Titans as champions.
The peak
The best season was 2024, for Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 15 wickets at 9.06 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.37, with best figures of 3 for 20.
Franchise by franchise
2022 to 2023, Gujarat Titans. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹3.20 cr. 14 matches and 13 wickets; champions in 2022.
2024 to 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹5 cr. 29 matches and 28 wickets; champions in 2025.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Gujarat Titans, 2022 to 2023.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 41 wickets in 881 deliveries, at 9.47 runs an over against a league rate of 9.13 for the same seasons: 0.34 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.
35.3% of the balls Yash Dayal bowled were dots, a higher share than 54% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 21.2 balls.
The fielding record: 8 catches and 2 run-outs.
At the auction
Yash Dayal went under the hammer three times, bought twice and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹5 cr, paid by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024, more than 25 times the base price. Unsold in 2020, Yash Dayal was bought in 2022 by Gujarat Titans.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Yash Dayal made 43 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025.
