The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced significant criticism following the IPL 2024 auction, particularly for their acquisition of Yash Dayal for ₹5 crore. Dayal, an uncapped Indian pacer, was notably hit for five consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh in the previous season, which fueled skepticism about his selection. The hefty price tag led to a barrage of online trolling and memes from fans who questioned the team’s auction strategy.

In response to the backlash, Yash Dayal opened up about the criticism, acknowledging the challenging nature of professional sports where public and fan expectations are high. He emphasized his determination to prove his worth and contribute positively to the team. Dayal expressed gratitude for RCB’s faith in his abilities and assured fans that he is fully committed to performing at his best in the upcoming season.

Additionally, RCB’s acquisition of West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph for ₹11.5 crore was also a highlight. Despite the steep price, Joseph’s track record of over 100 T20 wickets and his ability to deliver crucial performances in high-pressure situations make him a valuable asset for the team.
