Gujarat Titans' Yash Dayal reportedly posts hateful Instagram story, says account compromised

Gujarat Titans seamer Yash Dayal landed himself in a bit of controversy after purportedly sharing a hateful image on his Instagram account. However, he later clarified that his account was compromised. Dayal, part of GT squad in the recently concluded IPL, reportedly shared an image which focused on love jihad with reference to the Delhi murder case involving Sakshi and her alleged boyfriend Sahil Khan. However, screenshots of the story were circulated on social media before the cricketer could take it down. In a statement he said, “There were two stories posted on my Insta handle today - both of which weren’t done by me. I have reported the matter to authorities as I believe my account is being accessed by someone else and used for posting. I am trying to regain full control of my Instagram account.” “I respect all communities and the picture shared today does not reveal my true beliefs.” Dayal, 25, represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket. He was bought by GT for Rs 3.2 crore during the IPL auction. During his maiden IPL season last year, he took 11 wickets from nine matches as GT were crowned champions. This season, though, he took just two wickets from five matches. He was dropped from GT’s playing XI after conceding 69 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders when Rinku Singh hit him for five consecutive sixes in the final over. After that dramatic finish, Dayal’s father had revealed his father was consoled by his teammates.
