Yash Dayal's journey from the depths of public ridicule to achieving a national Test cricket call-up is a story of unparalleled resilience.

A year ago, Yash faced intense mockery after being hit for five sixes in an IPL match. The incident affected his mental health, causing severe distress for his entire family. His mother, Radha, even fell ill due to the emotional strain.

However, supported by his family's unwavering faith and motivation, Yash turned his career around. His consistent performances in domestic cricket, particularly for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and in the Duleep Trophy, have earned him the national selectors' nod. Yash's selection for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh marks the culmination of a remarkable comeback.
