After being hit for five consecutive sixes by KKR's Rinku Singh, Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal has been receiving consolation messages from all corners.
But the one that might lift him the most came from his father. With images of him in tears flooding the internet, Yash's father Chandarpal Dayal called up his son and told him not to get scared.
According to an Indian Express report, he said 'this is not some new thing in cricket. Bowlers getting hit. It happened to big bowlers, just work hard and see where you made mistakes. But remember this is not the first time it has happened in cricket. Big players like Malinga, and Stuart Broad have gone through this situation", Chadrapal said to his son over a phone call.
