Serious Allegations
However, his cricket achievements have been overshadowed by serious allegations. A minor has accused Dayal of repeatedly raping her over two years, using emotional blackmail and promises of advancing her cricket career to manipulate her. The abuse reportedly began when the victim, 17 at the time, met Dayal during an IPL match in Jaipur. She alleges he invited her to a hotel in Sitapura under the pretext of offering career advice, where the initial assault occurred. The case is registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Fans and cricket followers are calling for clear policies and quick responses to such allegations to maintain the integrity of the sport. This backlash highlights increasing scrutiny on the IPL and its franchises to act decisively when players face criminal allegations.
