Mayank Yadav Claims Maiden T20I Wicket with Rapid 146.1kph Delivery
Mayank Yadav, the 21-year-old Indian pacer, made a memorable debut in the first T20I against Bangladesh on Sunday, claiming his maiden international wicket in style. Bowling with pace and precision, Yadav clocked a rapid 146.1kph delivery to dismiss allrounder Mahmudullah.
Yadav’s wicket-taking delivery was a short ball that Mahmudullah charged down the pitch to play. However, the batter could only manage a toe-end that sailed to deep point. It was a key moment for Yadav, who was making his international debut alongside all-rounder Nitish Reddy.
Yadav had impressed in the 2024 IPL season with Lucknow Super Giants, where he showcased his raw pace. Despite an injury that cut his season short, Yadav’s return to the international scene proved that he can consistently clock speeds above 140kph.
Yadav’s debut performance has raised expectations for the young pacer, who is seen as a potential future star for India. His ability to generate pace and swing the ball makes him a valuable asset to the Indian bowling attack.
With his maiden T20I wicket, Yadav has put himself on the board early in his international career. As he continues to gain experience and develop his skills, he is likely to become a key player for India in the years to come.
