LSG Suffers Another Setback as India’s 156.7 Kmph Bowler Mayank Yadav Gets Injured, Confirmed by KL Rahul

During the 2024 Indian Premier League, the express speed bowler Mayank suffered an injury scare and left the field after bowling an incomplete fourth over against the Mumbai Indians. He ended his night after taking 1 for 31 in 3.1 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants emerged triumphant with a four-wicket win against Mumbai Indians, and Marcus Stoinis played a crucial role in the victory, rescuing the team with an influential knock. LSG struggled in the opening and suffered a middle-order collapse, but Stoinis’ performance ensured that the hosts secured the win.

Captain Rahul mentioned that Mayank approached him after the first ball of his fourth over, expressing discomfort in his side. Following this, Rahul felt it best to “not risk him” for the next five balls as a precaution.

Rahul also praised Mayank’s skills, noting that he has more to offer than just pace, and expressed confidence in his potential for growth. He highlighted the need for the team to gain momentum in the tournament’s back end, emphasizing the importance of momentum as a contributing factor to success.

Mayank’s performance in the match was notable, as he began with a strong delivery that hit Nehal Wadhera in the helmet. He consistently bowled at high speeds, reaching over 150 kmh, and displayed versatility in his delivery lengths, primarily pitching in the short or short-of-good-length zone.
