Srinagar: Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal has faced wrath of fans after ‘mistakingly’ sharing Hate post in his instagram story forcing him to delete post and issue apology.
Known best in IPL 2023 for being at the receiving end of Rinku Singh’s last over five sixes, Yash Dayal is trending on Twitter due to his Instagram activity.
Yash Dayal on Monday posted a highly sensitive story on Instagram. Dayal shared an Instagram Story about the Shahbad Dairy murder case, in which a 16-year-old girl Sakshi was stabbed over 20 times before being bludgeoned with a cement slab by the accused Sahil Khan, eventually killing the victim on the spot.
After getting noticed, and facing wrath of fans for sharing the sensitive post that directly targetted whole Muslim community, Dayal deleted the story and offered a clarification calling the activity a ‘mistake’.
Dayal wrote, “Guys, apologies for the story. It was just posted by mistake, please don’t spread hate. Thank you. I have respect for each and every community and society,” on his Instagram story after deleting the previous post.
That however, did not stop fans from lashing out at Dayal, accusing him of spreading hate.
Meanwhile Yash Dayal had lost 8 kgs after Rinku Singh had hit hin for five sixes.
After the match Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya, had said that Dayal fell ill and lost 6-8 kgs after Rinku’s onslaught in the KKR game. He never played a game for GT again this season, a stark contrast to his nine appearances and 11 wickets last year.
