The left-arm pacer was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team that won the Indian Premier League 2025 title. He performed brilliantly throughout the season, taking 13 wickets in 15 matches. However, these allegations have cast doubts over his future in professional cricket.
Yash Dayal was bought by Gorakhpur Lions for Rs seven lakh
According to a Dainik Jagran report, due to the recent observations of the court in the sexual assault case, Dayal will not play for Gorakhpur Lions in the upcoming season.
Not defending Yash Dayal,but if you go to a hotel willingly and have sex for your career, it’s not rape. It’s a choice you made at that moment. It may be a case of fraud or cheating,but not rape.

Talking about the UPT20 league, it is starting from August 17 and Dayal was bought by Gorakhpur Lions for Rs seven lakh. Meanwhile, the Lions said that the UPCA authorities are yet to issue any official order and they will wait for confirmation before taking any action.
What is the whole case?
On June 21, a woman filed a complaint against Yash Dayal accusing him of cheating in a relationship that lasted five years. She claimed that the RCB pacer had promised to marry her but reneged, causing her emotional and physical trauma. The woman accused Dayal of sexual assault and recently filed an FIR against the 27-year-old Dayal.
Recently, another girl in Jaipur filed a fresh FIR accusing Dayal of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The 17-year-old girl claimed that she was emotionally blackmailed and tortured for two years by promising help in starting a cricket career.
