Should RCB continue to trust young players like Yash Dayal in high pressure situations?
The final over was a spectacle of the veins and the play. CSK required 15 runs to overcome some pride in a terrible campaign. Dayal gave Dhoni a single single and Jadeja another single on the other. Then folded: On the third ball, Dayal rejected Dhoni and transferred the speed in favor of RCB.
Shivam Dube needed 13 balls with CSK 13.
Then, chaos. A waist-high no-ball gave Dube a free hit, which he broke for six. The equation suddenly changed – 6 needed 3 balls.
With just six of the three, Dayal maintained his work. He bowled a single for Dube on the fourth ball, and Jadeja could not affect the penaltimet ball, even one.
Now, it was needed 4 runs from the last ball. Dayal exchanged a brief word with the Patidar. The stress was frightening, but Dayal took his run-up peacefully and gave less full-toss. Dube connected hard, sent the ball for a long time, but managed to score only two runs.
Thousands of people burst at RCB Dugout, players on the ground and stand. Not only the victory brought him to the top of the points table, but it also marked another clutch finish with Dayal – his peace proved to be decisive once again under pressure.
A unique state: In both 2024 and 2025 examples, Dayal rejected Dhoni.
Despite the no ball and the six, another person who remained calm under pressure was his father, Chanderpal Dayal, who looked from Allahabad. At any point he did not doubt the result, knowing that he would pull through Yash.
“It has never ended until the last ball is bowled in cricket. Yash is more mature now. I am sure that fans have given up too – my family had also done. But I was confident that Yash would stop it. And they did. Their peace was important in this match,”
“I was watching 2024 matches – he was in the same position, and Dhoni was also there. When the Patidar handed him finally, I was really smiling. Captain Yash knows well. The management has shown a lot of confidence in him. Virat has given him a lot of support even after joining RCB.
“Virat Hamesh Bolte has done Nahi, cool game, open game of Usko Dar [Virat always tells him to not play with fear, but to play freely and with confidence]”father said.
‘Virat’s support is very big for fame’

[from 2024]And Virat told him one thing: ‘Keep working hard, Toofan Macha de. Main Hoon with you. Chinta Matt Karna. Hard work Karna Matt Pseudes. Galtian Karna, Cross Cyca and Aang Baghna. ‘(Keep working hard, create a storm. I am with you. Don’t worry. Never stop in the effort. Make mistakes, but learn and move forward).
