Fast bowler Mayank Yadav is the newest to receive a maiden call to India. He has been drafted into the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, who are touring Gwalior from October 6. He was one of the headline-grabbers in IPL 2024 as his scintillating spells crossed 150 kph.

At the early stages of IPL 2024, Mayank’s ‘cracker’ speeds were such attention-grabbers when he won two successive Player-of-the-Match awards within four games. He bowled just one over in his third game itself before being sent for scans because of stomach ache, which proved to be the extent of his tournament after a side strain. Still, during his rehabilitation stint at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, he suffered a injury in training.

Mayank Yadav’s Career

Delhi cricketer born on 17 June 2002, Mayank Yadav is a right-arm fast bowler and has represented the Delhi cricket team for domestic matches. He has set himself up as one among the emerging talent of tomorrow-and most see him potentially being a future India star, if fitness doesn’t leave his side. Mayank played his T20 match for Delhi against Manipur on 11 October 2022 and later in just a few matches, he played the List A match for Delhi against Haryana. He also played in his first-class debut game against Maharashtra.

A Stellar IPL Debut

Mayank was bought by Lucknow Super Giants in February 2023 at the price of INR 20 lakhs to play in the IPL. Though an injury made him sit out for 2023, he impressed everyone by his fabulous IPL debut in 2024 against Punjab Kings. Here, he won three wickets at a miniscule 27 runs. Words haven’t been enough to term this feat; praise is mainly tagged to him for giving the fastest ball in IPL 2024 at a staggering 155.8 km/h, and it also won him the ‘Player of the Match’ title. That match saw him continue his excellent form as well, picking three wickets for just 14 runs besides breaking his own speed record at 156.7 km/h.

India’s Squad For T20Is Against Bangladesh

Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the team as the skipper, Hardik Pandya has also made the cut but there is no place for Jasprit Bumrah and Ishan Kishan in the squad. Team India will be playing their first T20I against Bangladesh on 6 October In Gwalior.

Two wicket-keepers have been picked namely- Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma.

Varun Chakravarthy has also been selected and he’ll be making a comeback after 3 years, he was last seen in action in T20 World Cup 2021 which was held in UAE.

“The Men’s Selection Committee has picked India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming IDFC FIRST Bank T20I series against Bangladesh. After the completion of the Test series, India will play three T20Is at Gwalior, New Delhi and Hyderabad,” the BCCI said in a statement.
