Maiden Sooryavanshi fifty helps India outclass Zimbabwe: 1st T20 (Harare)

Mayank Yadav (born 17 June 2002) is an Indian fast bowler renowned for his express pace and ability to consistently exceed 150 km/h.

Rising through Delhi’s domestic cricket system, he made his state debut in 2022. His raw speed and aggressive approach quickly caught the attention of the Lucknow Super Giants, who signed him ahead of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Although injuries initially delayed his impact, Mayank made a sensational debut during the 2024 IPL, clocking speeds above 150 km/h and claiming consecutive Player of the Match awards in his first two games.

His stellar IPL campaign earned him an international call-up later that year, making his T20I debut against Bangladesh in 2024 with an impressive display of pace, control, and wicket-taking threat. While recurring injury setbacks have tested his momentum, Mayank remains one of India’s most thrilling fast-bowling talents—combining genuine heat with steep bounce, sharp accuracy, and a deceptive slower ball.
