Lucknow Super Giants bowling coach Morne Morkel praised Mayank Yadav for his pace and consistency which helped the side to go the distance in the IPL 2024. The 21-year-old speedster bowled most of his deliveries with a pace of 150 kmph plus which helped him to pick the wickets of Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma.
While chasing the target of 200, Punjab Kings failed to achieve despite Shikhar Dhawan`s 70 runs and Jonny Bairstow`s 42. LSG won the IPL 2024 match against PBKS by 21 runs. Mayank making his first appearance in the IPL 2024 registered figures of three wickets for 27 runs. "Young Mayank bowled serious heat and got the wickets. It was tough last year as he got injured after the first warm-up game. We`re managing him better. He ran in and that was the pleasing thing," said Morkel, a former South African pace-bowling star. "We asked the guys to do the basics well on a good wicket. Told him to stick to his lengths and use bouncers. Proud he ran in and bowled gas despite the humidity. How the wicket would play was an unknown, we had to sum up conditions and use them."
