Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is facing a major social media backlash after retaining fast bowler Yash Dayal ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction, despite the grave sexual misconduct allegations against him. A large number of fans expressed disappointment and anger, calling the decision “shameful” and questioning the franchise’s values.
Dayal is currently under investigation in two serious cases. In July 2025, a woman from Ghaziabad filed an FIR accusing him of sexual exploitation under the false promise of marriage. In a separate case in Jaipur, he has been accused of repeatedly raping a minor over a two-year period, with the complaint filed under the POCSO Act.
