IPL 2024: Murali Kartik slammed for calling Yash Dayal 'trash' on air

Yash Dayal took 1/23 in RCB v PBKS match in Bengaluru.

Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Murali Kartik came in for some criticism online after he called Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer ‘trash’ on air. This happened in the 6th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between RCB and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Bengaluru on March 25, 2024.

Yash Dayal has performed admirably for RCB in the ongoing IPL. The quick bowler has been blazing with the new ball, making it talk. He has swung the new ball well and caused significant problems for the opponents in his two appearances.

Dayal in the ongoing match against the struggling PBKS openers. He made seasoned hitters Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow appear inexperienced with his swing bowling. The left-arm pacer exuded brilliance at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, moving the ball both ways.

“Somebody’s trash…”- Murali Kartik trolled online for his comment on Yash Dayal

In a ground like M Chinnaswamy, where runs flow like a Ferrari car, the pacer restricted the run flow like cops. He ensured the PBKS didn’t get off to a flier. Dayal finished with figures of 1/23 in his 4 overs, taking the wicket of Sam Curran for 23 runs.

As Yash Dayal delivered a brilliant spell of swing balling early on, commentator Murali Karthik made a stunning remark about the fast bowler. He claimed that a quick bowler is a jewel for RCB but trash for someone else.

He stated: “Somebody’s trash is somebody else’s treasure”.

Kartik’s comment referred to Yash Dayal’s stint with Gujarat Titans last year and he had a torrid season with the ball last year. He gained infamy for getting hit for 5 sixes by Rinku Singh in a match between GT and KKR and had to take a break mid-season to regain composure.

His words left cricket fans unhappy and stated it was disrespectful to the uncapped Indian pacer.

Here are some reactions:

How do you say someone’s trash is someone’s treasure? You just called Yash Dayal Trash on air! Like what even?

Karthik just said "Somebody's trash is somebody else's treasure" while referring to Dayal's move from GT to RCB. Wtf? Pls cancel this guy's contract even if we are already into the tournament.

Murali Karthik is an absolute disaster as a presenter, anchor, or commentator. He can't even hand out awards without stumbling, constantly messes up cricketers' names, and seems clueless about female players. If there’s someone who’s trash, then it’s HIM and HIM only!

Why would you keep saying, someone's trash is someone's treasure on comms again? 🤔

• @StarSportsIndia, Murali Kartik is a part of the Star Sports commentary panel and he used the word "trash" for Yash Dayal, an Indian cricketer. Kindly take action against him and either remove him from the commentary panel or ask him to apologize.

Murali Kartik on air said, ‘someone’s trash is someone’s treasure’ invoking Yash Dayal. Phew! This is unpardonable and unacceptable even by the abysmal standards of the BCCI commentary panel. Will Kartik at least be reprimanded? #IPL2024
