RCB Bowler Yash Dayal Ties the Knot with Influencer Shweta Pundir
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
New Delhi, March 15 (NationPress) The talented pace bowler of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Yash Dayal, has tied the knot with Shweta Pundir, a prominent content creator, in an intimate ceremony in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, last month.
As reported by media outlets on Sunday, their wedding was celebrated on February 4, attended solely by close family and relatives. Although the couple hasn't officially announced their marriage on social media, Pundir did share a brief video reel showcasing moments with Dayal on her Instagram.
Pundir, who hails from Delhi, is a well-known social media influencer and vlogger, boasting an impressive following of over 587k on Instagram. She has also served as a broadcaster for the Intercontinental Legends League, significantly expanding her audience.
On the cricketing front, Dayal has earned recognition as a dependable left-arm pacer in both domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL). His career took off when he was selected by the Gujarat Titans (GT) for the 2022 season, contributing to the team’s title win during their inaugural campaign.
He later transitioned to RCB ahead of the 2024 season, continuing to be an integral part of their bowling lineup. Dayal was also part of the RCB team that achieved its first IPL title last season. The franchise has retained him for the upcoming IPL 2026, starting on March 28.
His consistent performances led to his first call-up to the Indian national team for a home Test series against Bangladesh, though he is yet to make his international debut.
However, off the field, Dayal has faced legal challenges related to allegations against him. Earlier this year, the Rajasthan High Court granted him anticipatory bail in one of these cases after a previous plea was denied by a lower court. The legal proceedings are still ongoing.
As RCB gears up for their title defense in the IPL 2026 opener against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 28, Dayal is expected to play a crucial role.
