Mayank Yadav has been tearing it apart with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2024. The 21-year-old was bought by LSG at a base price of 20 Lakh at the IPL 2024 auction. And the speedster has been producing match-winning performances over the past two matches.
In his debut season in the IPL, Yadav is showing his maturity and mettle. He has bowled with blistering pace so far, leaving batsmen in awe of his speed, and talent.
Yadav has picked six wickets in his first two IPL appearances, and currently ranks second on the list of Purple Cap holders. Despite the sheer pace, the LSG pacer has conceded runs at an economy of 5.12.
Incredible, isn't it? The fans think so, too!
IPL viewers and the Indian Cricket Team fans have urged the BCCI to include Mayank Yadav in India's squad for the upcoming T20I World Cup in June 2024.
