New Delhi. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav, who played for Lucknow Supergiants in IPL 2024, has made a lot of headlines due to his line, length and speed. Meanwhile, New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee has praised Mayank a lot. Saudi has said that many players have speed but do not have control. Mayank has everything.
Team Southee said during a conversation with The Hindu, “I think the thing that I like very much about him is his speed. That is his control. A lot of players who have that much speed don’t always have the control. But Mayank has speed as well as control. I am eager to see how he performs not only in the IPL, but also after that, in whatever team he plays for in the future.”

Mayank had been struggling with ankle and hamstring injuries throughout his career. He made his IPL debut this season against Punjab Kings and impressed by bowling at a speed of 150 kmph. In his second IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, this bowler took three wickets for 14 runs in which he bowled the fastest ball of this IPL at a speed of 156.7 km per hour.
Mayank came out to bowl the fourth over of the innings against Gujarat Titans but before leaving the field with the team physio, he was able to bowl at a speed of more than 140 km per hour only twice in his overs. He gave 13 runs in this over. There is news that Mayank may miss the next 2 matches for Lucknow. The management would like Mayank to be fielded only when he is completely fit.
