Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal made an apology via his social media profile on Monday (June 5) after receiving widespread criticism for his contentious Instagram post.
The left-arm bowler, who last played in the IPL 2023 in May, posted a picture on his Instagram account that sparked outrage and considerable condemnation. Dayal posted a communal image that was meant towards a specific faith, and individuals from all communities condemned the player for such a foolish post.
People with common sense chastised the player for making such a foolish remark in the first place, especially coming from someone who has played international-level franchise cricket and is recognized as an influencer with over 1 lakh followers.

“Guy’s apologies for the story it was just posted by mistake plz don’t spread hate, Thank You… I have respect for each and every community n society,” Dayal wrote in an updated story issuing an apology.
The 25-year-old Uttar Pradesh-born spinner rose to prominence following strong performances for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022. He took 13 wickets for the Titans as they won the IPL. However, this season has been a letdown for him, as he only made headlines for allowing 5 sixes in 5 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders, as his fellow UP colleague Rinku Singh demolished him.
