Kolkata. Who can forget the five consecutive sixes hit by Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh in the last over of the Indian Premier League against Gujarat Titans' bowler Yash Dayal. These sixes made Rinku a superstar, while for Yash, he started a new journey to improve himself. By securing a place in the Test series against Bangladesh, this bowler proved that those who work hard never lose.
Team India's fast bowler Yash's father Chandrapal Dayal had stopped stepping out of the house in the afternoon for almost a year. He had to face taunts from school children after Rinku Singh hit five consecutive sixes against his son Yash Dayal in the Indian Premier League.

In the afternoons, when the school bus passed by his house near the Karbala Mosque in Prayagraj, the children would shout 'Rinku Singh…Rinku Singh…five sixes…five sixes'. The children's behaviour reminded Chanderpal of that disappointing evening in Ahmedabad. After this one over, while Rinku Singh emerged as a national hero, Yash Dayal had to face challenging times.
Chandrapal, a retired officer of the Accountant General's Office in Allahabad, gets emotional recalling the incident in 2023. “For us, it was an accident. Whenever the school bus passed, the children would shout, 'Rinku Singh, Rinku Singh, five sixes'. It was very painful – why did this happen to my son?” he said.
