RCB’s Dramatic Playoff Qualification in IPL 2024
During the middle stages of the IPL 2024 tournament, it seemed unlikely that Royal Challengers Bangalore would make it to the playoffs. They lost the first match but won the second one. After that, they faced defeat in six consecutive matches, but then won six matches in a row, securing their position in the playoffs.
IPL 2024: Thrilling Clash Against Chennai Super Kings
Royal Challengers Bangalore have made a spectacular entry into the playoffs of the IPL 2024 tournament. After winning six matches in a row, RCB defeated the Blyabhals. On the one hand, Chennai’s playoff math was easy, but RCB solved the difficult question. After winning the toss, Chennai Super Kings invited RCB to bat first. Batting first, RCB scored 218 runs and set a challenge of 219 runs for victory. The playoff challenge was 200 runs. So they had to do anything to stop Chennai Super Kings from 200 runs in 20 overs. But after the pairing of Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it seemed that this math would be solved easily. 17 needed off the last over and Faf handed the over to Yash Dayal. The same Dayal who won the match last season by hitting five consecutive sixes in the last over by Rinku Singh. Gujarat Titans released him in a mini-auction. But RCB showed faith in him. Even after doing so, he was noted as trash. But Yash Dayal was not deterred by this, the franchise also supported him. Yash bowled the last over in an important match to take the team to the playoffs. Yash Dayal bowled a total of four overs, conceding 42 runs and taking 2 wickets. Yash Dayal has become the ‘Kachra’ of Lagaan.

IPL 2024: Yash Dayal’s Heroics in the Final Over
Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit a six on the very first full toss after handing the ball to Yash Dayal. So the equation 5 ball 11 came. At this time, it seemed that if the match was won, the math of the playoffs would not be solved. But Yash Dayal sent Mahendra Singh Dhoni to the tent on the second ball. A no-run ball to Shardul Thakur who came on strike for the third ball. Shardul was successful in getting one run off the fourth ball. So the equation came as 2 balls and 10 runs. It was an easy challenge for Ravindra Jadeja, who has always been brilliant in the IPL. But he could not get a single run. Yash Dayal bowled Two dot balls. Although the match was won by 27 runs, it must be said that the real victory was by 19 runs.
