Pak reporter’s statement saying Is BCCI showing videos of Haris Rauf to Mayank Yadav creates stir
A bold prediction by Pakistani journalist Farid Khan has sparked debate among cricket fans. Khan claims that young Indian fast bowler Mayank Yadav will be included in India’s T20 World Cup squad and is even being prepped to face Pakistan in a crucial match.
Mayank Yadav, who made his IPL debut for the Lucknow Super Giants last month, has taken the cricket world by storm. Despite playing just two matches, he’s already impressed with his searing pace, clocking the fastest delivery of IPL 2024 at 156.7 kmph. His six wickets in two games, conceded for a mere 41 runs, have fuelled talk of a potential national call-up.
In a now-viral video, Khan asserts that Mayank Yadav will not only be in the T20 World Cup squad but is also being specifically prepared for the high-pressure clash against Pakistan on June 9th in New York.
He claims the BCCI is showing Mayank Yadav, videos of Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf’s bowling from the last T20 World Cup, with assistance from former Pakistan bowling coach MorneMorkel, who is currently part of the LSG support staff.
