With three wickets in his thrilling IPL debut, Mayank Yadav, 21, had a great debut. Yadav came with a strong reputation for his impressive exploits in Indian domestic cricket and was drafted by the Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2024 IPL season. With a standout performance in LSG’s opening win of the season against the Punjab Kings, the young fast bowler from Delhi made an instant impression.
