He made his
List A debut for
Uttar Pradesh in the
2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 21 September 2018. He made his
first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh in the
2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 1 November 2018. He made his
Twenty20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in the
2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 21 February 2019. 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. He made his
IPL debut on 13 April 2022, against
Rajasthan Royals. 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 received his maiden call-up to the
Indian national team for the Test Series against
Bangladesh during September-October 2024. In July 2025, Dayal was charged by the Jaipur police following an allegation of raping a minor under the
POCSO Act, and was eventually banned from playing in the
Indian Premier League 2026. ==References==
