Honest Take of KL Rahul On Find Of IPL 2024 Mayank Yadav
The captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, KL Rahul, had words of praise for Mayank Yadav after registering two back-to-back victories. On Tuesday, Mayank rattled Royal Challengers Bengaluru with his scalding pace at Chinnaswamy and joked that he would rather enjoy the 21-year-old's bowling from 20 yards behind the stumps than face him with the bat in hand. On the back of top performances from Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Mayank, LSG clinched a thumping 28-run victory at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 season.
Once again in the ongoing IPL, Mayank set the speed gun on fire, and this time he burned RCB with a searing pace clocking 156.7 kph, ripping out RajatPatidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green.
The LSG captain praised the Delhi tearaway and said that one of Mayank's balls struck him really hard in the glove. Mayank did not get a single chance with the LSG team for the past two seasons, largely due to injuries.
In the post-match presentation, Rahul said, "Yeah, one ball hit me really hard, but I'm so happy to see Mayank bowl the way he’s been bowling in the last couple of games. He’s quietly patiently waited for two seasons in the dugout and missed out last year because of an injury, unfortunately. But he’s been in Bombay with the physios working really hard. He understands that bowling 155 is not easy, and at such a young age, he’s had a few injuries. He’s really professional in looking after his body; it’s really good to see, and he has a great temperament. I enjoy seeing him bowl from probably 20 yards behind the stumps; that’s where I’d like to be when he’s bowling.”
