While Rinku Singh received widespread praise on social media, Yash Dayal was chastised for his poor final over. KKR, on the other hand, created a special tweet for the 25-year-old pacer. According to KKR, the youngster simply had a bad day, which can happen to even the best players.
The Kolkata franchise also encouraged him to bounce back stronger from this setback.
Chin up, lad. Even the best cricket players can have a bad day at work. You’re a champion, Yash, and you’ll come back strong, KKR wrote in a heartfelt note to Yash Dayal.
Fans were taken aback by KKR’s gesture for the youngster, who had probably had the worst day of his career.
With the win, KKR moved into the top four on the points table. They have won two matches in a row and would like to improve their overall performance in the tournament going forward.
