“Someone’s Trash is ….”: Murali Karthik’s Comment Sparks RCB Fan Fury
![“Someone's Trash is …. Murali Karthik's Comment Sparks RCB Fan Fury](https://cricketbetpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Someones-Trash-is-….-Murali-Karthiks-Comment-Sparks-RCB-Fan-Fury.png)
The much-anticipated clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024 saw some fiery action on the field, but the real heat came from the commentary box. Former cricketer Murali Karthik landed himself in hot water with fans after a comment about RCB’s young pacer, Yash Dayal.
During Dayal’s bowling spell, Karthik remarked, “Someone’s trash is someone’s treasure,” seemingly referencing Dayal’s struggles in the previous IPL season while playing for Gujarat Titans where he faced 5 sixers in an over by Rinku Singh. This comment didn’t go down well with RCB fans, who took to social media to express their displeasure.
Many fans felt Karthik’s comment was disrespectful and dismissive of Dayal’s talent. Dayal had a rough patch in the prior season, but he was picked up by RCB for a reason.
How do you say someone’s trash is someone’s treasure? You just called Yash Dayal Trash on air! Like what even?

RCB supporters flooded social media platforms, criticizing Karthik for his negativity and lack of faith in the young player.
The RCB team itself took a stand, sending a clear message with a tweet praising Dayal and calling him a “treasure” for the team. This act of public support further fueled the fire among fans.

This incident highlights the power of social media and fan loyalty in cricket. It also reminds us of the importance of respecting young players and giving them a chance to prove themselves. While Karthik’s comment may have been intended as a light-hearted observation, it backfired, turning the spotlight on the importance of fostering talent rather than writing it off prematurely.
