“What a ball,” exclaimed an excited Ravi Shastri as Mayank Yadav He once again showed his fast bowling ability by castling Cameron Green with an absolute beauty in the ongoing game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The right-arm pacer made his IPL debut last week when LSG They faced the Kings of Punjab. Jonny Bairstow and Shikhar Dhawan had shared a century-plus stand and PBKS looked destined to win before Mayank Yadav’s 3-wicket haul turned the game on its head. In the end, LSG won the match quite comfortably.
The Delhi pacer became an overnight sensation with his pace bowling as he constantly touched the 150 kmph mark. One of his deliveries also recorded a speed of 156 km/h and is currently the fastest delivery in IPL 2024.
Mayank Yadav was introduced into the attack by KL Rahul in the sixth over and made an instant impact. On his fourth ball, he returned the dangerous Glenn Maxwell with a 151 km/h delivery. And in his second over, he bowled Cameron Green with absolute beauty.
The Australian star looked absolutely clueless as the ball hit the stumps even before he could move properly. He lacked a ball of good length that sank a little and the extreme pace caused Green to play down the wrong line. Green’s feet didn’t even move and the ball hit the top of the stump.
