India have a new pace sensation. The Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mayank Yadav has got everyone talking about his raw pace. The speedster has impressed everyone with his bowling speed alongside the control.
Mayank made an explosive start to his IPL career with back-to-back three-fers against Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The right-arm pacer has managed to trouble the overseas batters alongside the Indians with his extra pace.
Mayank Yadav clocked 156.7 kmph, the fastest delivery of the IPL 2024, and consistently bowled over 150 clicks. He smashed his own bowling speed record set a couple of nights ago against Punjab Kings after delivering a 155.8 km/hr thunderbolt.
Yadav is not yet to be the fastest Indian pacer. Let’s take a look at the fastest Indian bowlers list.
In addition to the above-mentioned names, the likes of Ishant Sharma, Varun Aaron, Umesh Yadav, and Navdeep Saini have breached the 152 km/hr mark while playing for India.
For the last few years, India have turned into a pace-bowlers factory with the emergence of many pace bowlers. Umran Malik burst onto the scene a couple of years ago and he was also fast-tracked to the Indian T20 side. However, Umran failed to impress at the highest level as he lacked control at his pace.
Meanwhile, there are encouraging signs in the case of Mayank Yadav as the LSG pacer has displayed impeccable control over his lines and lengths alongside the fiery pace.
