A good opening stand had been built by Dhawan and Bairstow, but Mayank Yadav’s speed would smash it and harry the middle order to put Punjab under pressure.
During the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 T20 cricket match between Lucknow SuperGiants and Punjab Kings, Mayank Yadav of the Lucknow Super Giants celebrates with teammates after capturing the wicket of Jitesh Sharma of the Punjab Kings.
PBKS vs. LSG, IPL 2024 Overview: After a century-plus opening partnership put Punjab Kings on course to chase 200, 21-year-old newcomer Mayank Yadav turned the tide of the game with his blistering pace, taking two vital wickets and hitting a 155.8kph delivery. Prior to this, Krunal Pandya made an incredible cameo to help the Lucknow SuperGiants reach 199.
Quick and intense
Mayank Yadav’s position on the official Lucknow SuperGiants website is listed as a medium fast right arm. Given that the Delhi pacer lit up the Ekana on Saturday night, that would most likely need to be updated. Take an example of this: He averaged 148 kph and bowled nine deliveries at or over 150 kph. His slowest delivery was recorded at 141 kph.
Let’s introduce Mayank Yadav. The right-hander had already delivered a blistering first over, but he would begin the second with the fastest delivery of the season thus far, at 155.8 kph. During that over, he dismissed Bairstow with a quick delivery that moved quickly. He bowled another rapid short ball in his third over, which struck Prabhsimran Singh high off the bat. He gave Jitesh Sharma a warm greeting with two incredibly brief ones. They are known as “perfume balls,” since the batter can detect the scent of the leather. Using a similar delivery, he eliminated Prabhsimran in his last over.
