"It filled Yash with positivity" - Yash Dayal's father on his sister joining him for IPL 2024 

Yash Dayal's father Chandarpal has stated that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ensured that every player had a family member with them when they were languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. He suggested that being with his sister, Shuchi, during that phase infused positive energy for the left-arm pacer.

Chandrapal suggested that Shuchi proved to be a lucky charm for Bengaluru, as the side went on a winning spree with her arrival. He also mentioned that her presence also helped Dayal significantly.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Yash Dayal's father said:

"She is very protective about Yash. She was the luck RCB needed because the moment she joined the team hotel, RCB started winning and they ended up winning five in a row. She had to return because of her work but with his sister around, it filled Yash with positivity and his performances also started to enhance."

Yash Dayal was the hero for RCB in their must-win clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 18. He defended 17 runs in the final over against the likes of MS Dhoni, Shardul Thakur, and Ravindra Jadeja, helping his team qualify for the playoffs.
