The highly anticipated IPL 2024 auction is underway as the 10 sets of registered players have gone under the hammer so far. Amidst some high bids for the capped or uncapped stars; the Ex-GT bowler Yash Dayal also attracted the eyeballs as he got picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a big amount of INR 5 crores.
Notably, Yash Dayal was the same bowler who got smashed for five consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh in the last when KKR required 29 runs off the last five balls against Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2023 match.
Just a few days ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, Gujarat Titans released Yash Dayal from their squad to fill that space with another pacer for the next edition of the Indian Premier League.

Since then, he played 14 matches for the Titans till IPL 2023; in these matches, the Allahabad pacer scalped 13 wickets with his best performance of 3/40.
