Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Mayank Yadav has been in some form in his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) season. After registering figures of 3/27 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their previous game, Mayank continued to perform consistently with figures of 3/14 from four overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old is soon becoming synonymous with bowling in excess speeds, more than 150 kmph quite often. And on Tuesday, he produced a ripper of a delivery to remove RCB’s Cameron Green.
Green was batting on nine when he was dismissed by Mayank. It was a length ball that landed outside off from Mayank, and Green ended up playing the wrong line on this occasion while going for a drive. There was immense pace from Mayank, whose ball beat the outside edge before hitting the top of off stump.
You can watch the dismissal here . At the time of writing this report, RCB were in a spot of bother at 85/4 from 12 overs, needing another 97 runs from 48 balls. RCB are in ninth place in the 10-team points table with one win three matches, whereas LSG are in sixth place with one win in two matches.
