Speaking of the apology, he wrote: “Guy’s apologise for the story it was just posted by mistake plz don’t spread hate Thank you I have respect for each & every community n society.” Later, in a statement in media, he said: "There were two stories posted on my Insta handle today - both of which weren't done by me. I have reported the matter to authorities as I believe my account is being accessed by someone else and used for posting. I am trying to regain full control of my Instagram account. I respect all communities and the picture shared today does not reveal my true beliefs."

The GT pacer claimed that his account was hacked and it was not him who posted those stories on Instagram. Hence, both stories are currently deleted and he is looking to gain full control of his social media account. Speaking of his performance in IPL 2023, Dayal picked up only two wickets in five matches. In the 2022 edition, he picked up 11 wickets in nine matches.
