Mayank Yadav might be faster than Shoaib Akhtar!

In IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024, Mayank Yadav's brilliance has caught the attention of the cricket world. The young speedster Mayank Yadav, representing Lucknow Super Giants, has impressed everyone with his performance in the two matches his team had won.

It's rare to find someone in the cricketing arena who hasn't praised him. Mayank has shown outstanding pace along with control over the ball, establishing himself as a rising star quickly.

Against Punjab Kings in the IPL debut, the 21-year-old Mayank conceded 27 runs and took 3 wickets, making a name for himself. Not stopping there, against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he spent 14 runs and took 3 wickets, leading the team to victory by 28 runs.

Mayank's IPL performance has garnered praise from the team's head coach, Justin Langer, who has compared him to the Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar, suggesting that Mayank may even be faster than Shoaib!

In a video posted on the team's social media, former opener Aji Opana said that Mayank is a bit faster than Shoaib!
