It is worth noting that Yash Dayal plays alongside several Muslim cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL), such as Rashid Khan, Moeen Ali, Mohammad Shami, and others. His actions have not only drawn criticism from the public but also from his fellow players.

Yash Dayal had a forgettable moment in IPL 2023 when Rinku Singh of the Kolkata Knight Riders smashed him for five consecutive sixes in the final over, leading to a heartbreaking loss for his team. This recent controversy further tarnishes his reputation, with many suggesting that Rinku knew about Yash’s extremist views, implying that the thrashing was a befitting response to his divisive ideologies.
The incident took place amidst a tragic train accident in the state of Odisha, India, where over 275 people lost their lives. In response, Pakistani cricketer Muhammad Rizwan expressed his condolences and support for the victims and their families. However, Yash Dayal’s actions stood in stark contrast to the unity and compassion demonstrated by Rizwan. By sharing a ‘love jihad’ story on his Instagram, Yash potentially fueled hate speech and promoted divisive ideologies.

Although Yash eventually removed the post, it had already garnered significant attention and was widely shared on social media platforms. The cricketing community was taken aback by the extremist views expressed by the fast bowler. His actions not only go against the spirit of the game but also propagate hatred and discrimination.
Yash Dayal’s controversial Instagram post has raised serious concerns about the presence of such extremist elements within the cricketing fraternity. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting inclusivity, respect, and unity, while condemning any form of hate speech or discriminatory behavior.
