Anjali Singh Rajput/Lucknow: An IPL match was played between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings at Ekana Stadium yesterday. It is noteworthy that this was the first match in IPL-2024 in Lucknow. During this, Lucknow team won on its home ground.
The special thing was that the fans of Lucknow Super Giants had a lot of expectations from the team captain KL Rahul but KL Rahul did not live up to the expectations of the fans. In the second innings of the match, Punjab Kings were moving towards victory when an unknown player changed the story of the entire match. After LSG’s victory, that player is now being discussed more than KL Rahul. Not only this, this player is also trending on Twitter and other social media. This player is none other than Mayank Yadav. Who has become the center of discussion among the people after bowling the fastest ball of this IPL season at a speed of 155.8 km per hour. Lucknow Super Giants fans are comparing Mayank Yadav with Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar.
Loved speed since childhood
Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Mayank Yadav said that he likes speed since childhood. He used to be very thrilled when he saw a rocket or a plane flying in the sky. This 21 year old young bowler, in his debut match of IPL, took away three batsmen of Punjab Kings and brought the match in the hands of LSG and ultimately LSG registered its first win by defeating Punjab by 21 runs.
Vijay Dahiya’s search is Mayank Yadav
Mayank Yadav told that he lives in Punjabi Bagh, Delhi. He works very hard on his pace. Before joining LSG, he used to bowl net for Delhi. There he came in contact with former LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya and joined the team last year itself. However, due to injury, he could not debut in IPL last year. This time I got a chance and bowled as per my pace, which resulted in success.
all night celebration
Lucknow Super Giants team has been accommodated in Taj Hotel. As soon as the team reached their hotel after winning, there was a whole night celebration. Even in the morning, other players celebrated Mayank Yadav by feeding him cake and applying the cake on his face.
