Pace sensation, who set tongues wagging in the 2024 IPL, is fit and raring to go after a year spent healing his injuries
LAST Saturday, Lucknow Super Giants shared a short reel. It made the Indian cricketing fraternity sit up and smile. A slow motion video of Mayank Yadav nailing a toe-crushing yorker in full speed.
The short clip, which has more than 4M views, and the comments section is enough to understand the anticipation around Mayank’s return to a full-fledged IPL season once again after missing most of 2025 due to a back injury. He came back during the recent T20 World Cup warm-up games, turning up for India A, but now the world will get to see Mayank steaming in full tilt. Watching it from afar, Devendra Sharma, cricket coach at Sonnet Club in New Delhi, is a happy man. “It’s God’s grace,” Sharma, who has seen Mayank from close quarters, tells this daily.
