Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal, who was hit for five consecutive sixes by Rinku Singh, has landed in a controversy after posting a controversial picture targeting Muslims.
In the picture, a Muslim man with a knife is shown talking to a girl from another religion, and the dead body of another female is lying on the ground.
His reference was related to Love Jihad, a term commonly used by fringe elements in India to create enmity between two religions. However, after facing backlash, he deleted the picture.
His post could cause unrest in the franchise, which houses Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and Noor Ahmad. GT made it to the final of the 16th season but lost to Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets.
Meanwhile, Yash took 2 wickets from 5 matches in the Indian Premier League 2023.
