## Required Concepts

- Yash Dayal is a left-arm seam bowler — played 4 IPL seasons for GT and RCB (2022–2025), taking 41 career wickets
- Middle-phase bowling (8.33 econ from 229 balls, 12 wickets) is his best economy phase
- PP economy (9.42 from 438 balls, 16 wickets) is his highest-wicket phase but more expensive than middle
- Death bowling (11.41 econ, 204 balls, 13 wickets) is productive for wickets but very expensive — reflects modern death-bowling difficulty
- All three phases are above their respective floor thresholds — reliable phase data

## Required Metrics

- **Career wickets**: 41 · **Economy**: 9.60
- **PP**: 438 balls, 16 wkts, 9.42 econ (most wickets)
- **Middle**: 229 balls, 12 wkts, **8.33 econ** (best economy)
- **Death**: 204 balls, 13 wkts, 11.41 econ (most expensive)

## Citation Behavior

1. State 41 wickets (econ 9.60) across 4 seasons (2022–2025) for GT/RCB.
2. Middle phase as best-economy phase (8.33 econ, 229 balls).
3. PP as highest-wicket phase (16 wkts from 438 balls, though economy is 9.42).

## Caveats

- Overall economy of 9.60 is high — reflects his Death-phase usage and the modern IPL scoring environment (2022–2025).
- Batting phases both below ≥30-ball floor — not citable.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Yash Dayal has been very economical throughout his IPL career." *(Dayal's IPL career economy (9.60) is above average — reflecting expensive Death bowling (11.41 econ) and PP bowling (9.42 econ). His Middle-phase economy (8.33 from 229 balls) is his most economical phase, but it still falls in the 8.0–9.0 "average/slightly above average" range by modern IPL benchmarks.)*
