Career
He made his List A debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 21 September 2018.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1156926.html |title=Elite, Group B, Vijay Hazare Trophy at Delhi, Sep 21 2018 |access-date=21 September 2018 |work=ESPNcricinfo}} He made his first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 1 November 2018.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1156950.html |title=Elite, Group C, Ranji Trophy at Kanpur, Nov 1-4 2018 |access-date=1 November 2018 |work=ESPNcricinfo}} He made his Twenty20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 21 February 2019.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1157106.html |title=Group E, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at Delhi, Feb 21 2019 |access-date=21 February 2019 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}
In February 2022, he was bought by the Gujarat Titans in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament for a whopping 3.2 crores in the auction, which was a considerably higher bid for an uncapped player.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2022-auction-the-list-of-sold-and-unsold-players-1300689 |title=IPL 2022 auction: The list of sold and unsold players |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 February 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/meet-yash-dayal-the-uncapped-fast-bowler-bought-by-gujarat-titans-for-rs-3-2-crore-4767542.html |title=Meet Yash Dayal, The Uncapped Fast Bowler Bought by Gujarat Titans For Rs 3.2 Crore |work=News18 |access-date=14 April 2022}} He made his IPL debut on 13 April 2022, against Rajasthan Royals.{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2022-1298423/rajasthan-royals-vs-gujarat-titans-24th-match-1304070/match-report |first=Hemant |last=Brar |date=14 April 2022 |work=ESPNcricinfo |title=Hardik brings the thrill as Titans top table |access-date=17 April 2022}} However, his rise to fame came in a negative limelight as he couldn’t defend 29 runs in the final over the IPL league match against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 season with Rinku Singh smacking him for 5 sixes in that over. He had one of worst four-over spells in IPL history in that game, giving away 69 runs, only one run short of the worst spell at that time. He was released by Gujarat Titans after the season.
In the 2024 auction, he was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru with an even bigger bid of 5 crores. He made a spectacular comeback in that season, scalping 15 wickets from 13 matches with best bowling figures of 3/20 against Delhi Capitals. However, the turning point of his IPL career was defending 17 runs against the Chennai Super Kings in the last over, which also included the massive wicket of MS Dhoni and helped RCB qualify for the playoffs.
He repeated the same feat in IPL 2025 with CSK, where the team needed 14 runs off the final over. Dayal held his nerve, successfully defending the total and even dismissing Dhoni in the process.
He received his maiden call-up to the Indian national team for the Test Series against Bangladesh during September-October 2024.{{cite web |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/rishabh-pant-kl-rahul-return-for-first-test-against-bangladesh-yash-dayal-receives-maiden-call-up-1450354 |title=Yash Dayal got his first ever call-up for India |first=Ayush |last=Das |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=8 September 2024 |access-date=20 September 2024}}
