IPL 2023: Flop XI from second week
These players failed to turn up against their rivals in week two of the ongoing competition.
11. Yash Dayal (Gujarat Titans)
For the left-arm medium pacer Yash Dayal, week two of the league was no less than a nightmare as he got ripped apart by KKR’s Rinku Singh while defending 29 runs in the last over of the match. Considering his 4.0-0-69-0 spell, Gujarat Titans (GT) dropped him from their playing XI against Punjab Kings (PBKS).
This wasn’t the first time Dayal disappointed GT supporters with his below-par bowling. Earlier, in his IPL 2023 opening game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he bowled only one over and in that too, he gave away 14 runs. Despite bagging poor numbers in the first match, the captain and management didn’t lose faith in the pacer and kept him in the playing XI against Delhi Capitals (DC).
This time too, he bowled only one over and splurged 12 runs without bagging any wickets. Against KKR, he completed his spell and emerged as the weakest point of GT's bowling attack. His horrendous bowling figures also spoiled the good work of Rashid Khan, who clinched a hat-trick in the contest.
