Gwalior: Before the start of the Team-20 series between India and Bangladesh, if there was one thing that was discussed the most, it was Mayank Yadav. Everyone was curious to know whether he would get a chance to debut for India in Gwalior. Now the wait is over as this stormy fast bowler was included in the playing eleven and he did not disappoint his fans.
Career started with maiden over
Mayank Yadav bowled his first over maiden against Bangladesh at the newly constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Before Mayank Yadav, only Ajit Agarkar and Arshdeep Singh were able to start the maiden over for India in their first T20 match. Mayank bowled eight dots in his first 12 balls. Gave three singles and took one wicket. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav, who won the toss and decided to bowl first, put him on the attack in the sixth over. Mayank Yadav took one wicket for 21 runs in four overs.
At what speed was Mayank bowling?
In this match, Mayank continued bowling at a speed of 140 km per hour. His highest speed was recorded at 149.9 KM/H, which can be said to be 150. His form and fitness will be tested in the current series against Bangladesh. His speed was definitely low in this match, because in IPL 2024 he had bowled the ball at a speed of 156.7 kilometers per hour, but due to a strain in his ribs, he had to withdraw from the tournament midway.
Got direct entry into Team India
You will be surprised to know that Mayank got direct entry into Team India due to his special talent. Actually, any player has to prove his fitness in domestic cricket to make a place in the national team, but this did not happen in the case of 22-year-old Mayank, who has special talent. When head coach Gautam Gambhir used to be the mentor of Lucknow Supergiants, he had closely watched Mayank Yadav’s game, which also benefited him.
