Mayank Yadav’s pace left RCB rattled as LSG clinched a thumping 28-run victory at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday in the ongoing IPL 2024 season.
The Delhi tearaway became the sixth bowler in the IPL to take three-wicket hauls in two consecutive matches. He clocked 156.7 kph during the game and bowled the fastest delivery in the ongoing edition and overall the fourth fastest in the history of the entire tournament.
The South African wicketkeeper-batter asserted that right-arm seamer Mayank is bowling simply and doing really well for the LSG side.
“It (pitch) was holding and bouncing. Wanted to bat for longer because we lost wickets at times. He is bowling rockets in our team. He is keeping it simple and doing really well for his team. That’s why he (Pooran) gets the big bucks I guess. Conditions are never quite the same as an opener if you have played at the same venue before,” the 31-year-old stated in the post-match presentation.
