Mayank rattles RCB in Kohli’s 100th T20 match.
Mayank, a pacer, was the Super Giants’ preferred bowler in a game where Kohli made his 100th T20 appearance. Mayank let up just 14 runs in four overs of bowling. The LSG pacer’s game-changing effort included the removal of players like Maxwell (0), Rajat Patidar (29) and Cameron Green (9). During the IPL 2024, renowned Australian pacer Brett Lee also praised LSG’s quick bowler. JioCinema IPL analyst for the 2024 season Lee said to be eager to watch Mayank’s development over the coming months.
What did Brett Lee say about young Mayank ?
“First and foremost, I don’t want to put him under any further pressure because, at just 21 years old, he would feel under pressure if he is given the opportunity to represent India. However, I am really impressed with what I have seen thus far. He took three wickets the previous night and has excellent pace and action. I’m eager to watch how he develops over the coming months. There is a lot of chatter about Mayank Yadav. I would love to see him bowl even faster tonight after he crossed 155 the other night. Lee continued, “I’m interested to see how he defends himself.
