Mayank Yadav gets ‘child of the wind’ moniker as cricket greats watch him break IPL speed records in disbelief

Mayank Yadav claimed three wickets for just 14 runs in his quota of four overs as LSG hammered RCB by 28 runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

Mayank Yadav set the stage on fire with his rapid pace once again as he ran riot against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and helped Lucknow Super Giants win their second match in a row. The 21-year-old, who made his debut against Punjab Kings in LSG’s match, proved that he is not a one-match wonder and claimed the Player of the Match award on consecutive occasions.

The tearaway pacer claimed three wickets for just 14 runs in his quota of four overs as LSG hammered RCB by 28 runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. He bettered his record of the fastest ball with a 156.7 kph delivery on Tuesday.

Mayank claimed the important wickets of Glenn Maxwell (0), Cameron Green (9) and Rajat Patidar (29) to break Bengaluru’s back in the 182-run chase. He outclassed the Australian duo with his rapid pace which they failed to handle.

He stunned Maxwell with a short delivery as the Aussie failed to time it well and got caught by Nicholas Pooran for a second ball duck. Meanwhile, he got the better of Green with an absolute jaffa and hit the top of the off-stump with a delivery which nipped back in. Patidar also went for a pull shot and Devdutt Padikkal didn’t make any mistake grabbing the catch.
