This pace prodigy not only bettered his own record for the fastest ball of the season (previously 155.8 kmph) but unleashed an absolute screamer clocked at a staggering 156.7 kmph against RCB! Remember, this is just his second IPL match!
Mayank’s debut against Punjab Kings was a match-winner in itself, with a spell of 3/27. He carried that momentum into the RCB clash, dismissing the dangerous Glenn Maxwell in his very first over.

But wait, there’s more! Mayank produced a yorker so good, it sent Cameron Green packing. The ball had Green beaten for pace, rattling his off-stump and racing away to the boundary. Just pure fire!
His rampage didn’t stop there. Mayank added another wicket to his tally, dismissing Rajat Patidar, finishing the match with phenomenal figures of 3/14 in just 4 overs. No wonder he’s become the talk of the town!
Even Australian fast-bowling legend Brett Lee is impressed. Lee, a commentator for JioCinema IPL, couldn’t help but sing Mayank’s praises: “He’s young (just 21!), has incredible pace, and a great bowling action. I’m truly impressed and excited to see him develop in the coming months.”
Mayank’s journey to this point is quite remarkable. With only two List A matches under his belt before being picked by LSG for the 2022 season, he didn’t get a chance to play in his first year. Then, a torn hamstring sidelined him for another season. But Mayank persevered. After recovering from the injury, he showcased his talent in the Deodhar Trophy, dismantling Rahul Tripathi’s stumps with a scorching delivery.
This young talent is definitely one to watch. With his raw pace and dedication, Mayank Yadav is setting the IPL 2024 stage on fire!
