The announcement by the RCB on their official website that free passes would be distributed at the gates for the public is the reason for the gathering of lakhs of people.

If the KSCA organises another programme the next day, there will be disruption.

In Ahmedabad, Dayal's name had been associated with a bowler who hid his face with a towel after conceding five sixes and failing to defend 28 runs in an IPL match. He was ridiculed after being hit for five sixes in the final over by Rinku Singh. His family had been wary of tuning in to IPL's high-pressure matches involving their son, but with RCB winning the IPL title at the same venue, the 27-year-old pacer had buried the ghost of that "nightmarish" IPL night.

I want to play in the IPL and I want to play for India, and that is the kind of redemption I seek. But I would say in cricket, it can happen to anyone at a certain level as a bowler," he told in an exclusive interview. Yash Dayal revealed that while most of his teammates shed tears, he struggled to cry after the final. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 최대 할인 지원해드려요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo "To be very honest, I was emotional.

RCB is my team' With Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the 27-year-old forged a three-pronged pace attack, which played a crucial role in RCB lifting their first IPL trophy. "Both of them are world-class bowlers. Bhuvi bhaiya and Josh Hazlewood joining the team after the auction made my work very easy. I was stress-free, and as a unit, we followed simple bowling plans and stuck to them. I enjoyed working with them a lot and would like to do so in the future also," he said. "With Josh and Bhuvi bhai around, the plan given to me was that I should swing the ball aggressively, make the most of the new ball, and try to stay ahead of the batsman [batter]," he added.

He has given this franchise 18 years and has seen so many ups and downs. And we are very happy to have won the trophy and want to repeat it in the future also," he said. The 27-year-old shrugged off the suggestion that his omission from the India A squad for the England tour, which he has been part of in recent years, added extra motivation to do well in the final. "I don't know about India A and India selection. My job is to work hard day and night until I reach that stage. There is no shortage of motivation in life," he said.

Last Updated: This year marked RCB's fourth IPL Final following their defeats in 2009, 2011 and 2016, while Punjab Kings had earlier reached the final back in 2014.
