[VIDEO/PICTURES] Mayank Yadav, another speed gun from India a.k.a The New Delhi Express

He is a very talented fast bowler but his bowling action is too risky... he could sustain a serious injury at any time.
 
As per reports, Mayank Yadav is devoid of any international experience; however, the BCCI selectors might have still considered him. But his 'injury-prone body' has prevented any such chance.

Mayank Yadav injured again. Lol is he too brittle or trying so hard. Still get ignored by BCCI.
 
Ppl got too excited seeing him bowling over 150 but maintaining speed is not the only thing, maintaining fitness level along with it is a real challenge.
 
As per media reports, While speedster Mayank Yadav might have failed to impress the selectors enough to make it to the T20 World Cup squad, but then, he could just be in long-term plans of the BCCI. Team India is supposed to tour Australia in November. Mayank will head to the NCA Bengaluru, where he will get medical assistance. There he is expected to work with biomechanics expert Troy Cooley. Not just that, he could well be on his way to Australia in June itself, for the India A tour, prior to the Test series, that begins on November 22.
 
As media per reports, Mayank Yadav is unlikely to play in IPL 2024 due to injury.
 
Poor lad, even struggling in 4 overs matches. But I believe India have much better medical personnel than for instance Pakistan (the Ihsanullah case) so he will be monitored closely. But since some posters have talked about his ation, he might have to change it a bit or?
 
Remember Hasnain being hyped up as the 155 kph sensation .

Getting smashed in low quality leagues like LPL now and looking absolutely mediocre.

Hope Mayank does not go down that route
 
Speed guns are counterproductive. Check what happened to Umran Malik.

I think best bowlers bowl in the 140-150 region.

What's up with these Indians always bringing in Bangladesh in random threads? My comment had nothing to do with Bangladesh and this thread is not about Bangladesh.

I don't know whether to call your post idiotic or insecure. I guess it is a bit of both.

Hope he recovery from his injury quickly....
I sincerely believe we should get MY or Umraan in the squad for Aus..
Imagine him on a Perth flyer....
He could be the cutting edge we need ...to push them Aus batsmen onto the back foot
If not, hope selectors pick at least Umraam Malik ..

Can you tell me what diet Mayank Yadav will be using? And what diet plan do fast bowlers in India usually use?

I'm pretty sure nutrition is on point. One thing we are also.sure is he isn't wolfing on chicken biryani in some corner.

155kph? First, it was Umran and now this guy. QUestion is: if he is that quick in reality, what is the guarantee that he will not go down the umran route?
Click to expand...
No guarantee for anything. India is producing quite a number of tearaways these days. They have good nutritionists, physios and coaches around them. They are being monitored year long. Some of them will have long fruitful careers. Others will wither away but will make a quick buck playing franchise cricket for a few seasons. Either is fine as long as there is a pipeline

Aussies are indeed very humble considering they have won World Cups 8 times.

Can you imagine a desi country winning World Cups 8 times? They would probably become unapproachable due to an ego overload. We can already see how arrogantly Indians behave after being dominant for a handful of years.

Australia is the Batman of cricket world. India is like Bane (temporary villain).

They have won it 7 times not 8. WTC is not a World Cup, FYI.
 
Jay Shah while speaking to a local media:

"I cannot give you any answer on Mayank Yadav as there is no guarantee whether he will be in the team or not. But he is potentially a good fast bowler, and we are looking after him. He is currently in the NCA."
 

"Can't Wrap Him Up": Ex India Bowling Coach's Stern Take On Forgotten 156.7 kmph Sensation​


In the first week of IPL 2024, a 21-year-old pacer burst onto the scene. Clocking 150 kph at ease and picking up six wickets in his first two games, Lucknow Super Giants' Mayank Yadav already being tipped to be a future India star, with calls coming to include him in the 2024 T20 World Cup squad and take him to India's tour of Australia. With the T20 World Cup well behind us, and the Australia tour not too far away, Mayank Yadav's hype has faded away. In fact, the fast bowler hasn't played a game since the IPL.

Yadav is still reportedly recovering from his injury, and is not ready to bowl yet. The pacer - who turned 22 in June - spends time at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

"He has spent every alternate week over the last three months at the NCA. We are hoping that he will be back to his best before our first Ranji Trophy match," a Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) official told The Indian Express.

Former Delhi U19 coach and Mayank's mentor Narender Negi has said that bowling 12-15 overs a day is a part of Mayank's routine as he is eased back to cricket. Mayank recently pulled out of the ongoing Delhi Premier League 2024.

"He has been given a routine by the physios at the NCA. They are monitoring his body. He has been working on his strength and has been told to develop his leg and back muscles. They are being very careful with Mayank," said Negi.

"He is a special talent and is being looked after by the BCCI, who don't want to take any risk with Mayank," he added.

Former Team India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, who was part of the national setup during Rahul Dravid's tenure, stated that it is important for Mayank to get back into action.

"I don't agree that if he is not ready, just don't play him. This is the age where he has to bowl. A bowler should bowl. The more you bowl, the more you will have control, you will know your threshold as to how much your body can take. You can't wrap him up in cotton wool saying he will get injured," said Mhambrey.

He urged Mayank to play more red ball cricket, stating that that would help him improve his fitness and confidence.

"When you play one season, you understand your bowling. You bowl in different conditions. Physically, you will be tested in different phases of the game. Sometimes, you will have to be on the ground for six sessions. And to be able to bowl with the same intensity in the last session will give you confidence when you play at the international level. I strongly feel Mayank needs to grind it out in the domestic season," he said.

Indians have 8 olympic hockey titles. I don't see anyone gloating tbh. Pakistan has 4 wc titles in hockey, do you see them gloating?
 
Mhambrey is just echoing everything that Wasim Akram has said all along repeatedly that bowlers need to bowl a lot more than spending time in the gym.
 
We need him in Australia and England for the twin 5 test series.

Mayank Yadav or Kartik Tyagi's story reveal what ails our domestic set up.

These guys play for Delhi and UP but don't get many chances to play as these teams keeps playing older players for stability.

There is no risk taking ability.

Consequently these players don't develop as they should.

Umran has to leave j and K ranji team if he wants to develop.
 
While speaking to local Indian media outlet, Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes has reserved big praise for uncapped Indian pacer Mayank Yadav by calling him the Rolls Royce of the Lucknow Super Giants:

“I’m not a bowling coach, but Morne Morkel, during the previous season, when Mayank got injured at the start of the preparation, literally said, ‘Wow, this guy (Mayank Yadav), he’s like the Rolls Royce of bowlers, similar to how we used to call Allan Donald a Rolls Royce. He is LSG’s Rolls Royce.”

“He had a whole season with the team, and that’s why the owners decided to keep him with the team; he did all his rehab throughout the IPL and stayed a part of the unit because we really believe that he is a young guy with extreme talent, and we saw him in the games that he played, and everybody was really monitoring him, not wrapping him in cotton wool.”

“But monitoring his workload and understanding that he is a guy that doesn’t need to bowl 30 minutes every day in the nets, he just needs to top-up to make sure that he, from a mental and emotional point of view, feels that he’s ready because he is a raw talent. We saw what happened with Umran Malik, who burst onto the scene at sheer pace. We all got excited, but you know the question is, can the player bowl to the game plan? That’s because they’re bowling some of the best batters in the world and sometimes on really good surfaces, so if you’ve just got pace and you can’t bowl in good areas or with good skill, the better players will hit you out the ground.”

“So, I think from a point of view where LSG haven’t worried about, or haven’t gone, let’s wrap him in cotton wool, because then he comes to the game, you never know what’s going to happen. But the preparation is key and hopefully, you know, through the season when the off season and now the season again by the time he comes to IPL, and if he’s playing with LSG again or even if he’s not playing for LSG, I just hope Mayank is bowling and is fit for the whole IPL because there’s a talent that is exciting.”

Aakash Chopra said in his YouTube channel:

"They would have definitely wanted to retain him [Mayank Yadav] but if he gets the India cap, there is no advantage of retaining him. Then you can use the Right To Match card."

His first outing after a long injury layoff. I am sure he has a lot more in his pace tank.
 
Happy first international wicket. Although against minnow East Pakistani Razakars
 
So didn’t I read he clocked 155kph in the IPL.

Barely got to late 140s here. Looks like the IPL guns need some repair

Tbf Pak should theoretically handle his gentle medium pace (by their stds) quite easily, its historically the land of genuine speed merchants.... currently undergoing a concurrent brain, heart, kidney, liver, major surgery along with a minor bariatric procedure to accommodate azam

Just hearing babar's name alone will terrify medium pacers like mayank. He is the conqueror of medium pace.
 
I don't have much hopes from Mayank. I hope he does not go Umran's way. Pace without brains is useless.

Would love if he can eventually transition as a red ball bowler.

He's a long term project. 2 years back, he didn't even have a measured run up. They have tweaked his run up and action to make sure his feet are better aligned at delivery and counter rotation is minimised. Will take time for him to ensure that old habits don't come back from muscle memory.

It looked fine in the first two overs. But in the last 2 overs I thought I saw him revert ever so slightly to his older action.

Definitely still a WIP

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee, in an interview with a local sports channel:

“I can tell you that batters are okay when you bowl that 135-140 kmph speed, but when you bowl high 150s, I don’t care who it is, no one wants to face that."

“He [Mayank Yadav] looks like someone who is a complete package, if Mohammed Shami is not ready, at least get him (Mayank) in the squad. I think he would do pretty well on these Australian wickets.”

“The great thing is with me that I get to work on the IPL and see a lot of good young Indian cricketers. Mayank Yadav, to watch his first IPL game recently, hit 157 kmph first up in his first game."

“Unfortunately, his franchise probably brought him a little early and he did his side again."

“They put him in cotton wool for a bit. The great thing about India is that they are not worried about how much cricket someone has played or hasn’t played, if he is ready to go, get him in there. I actually love that theory.”

A guy with one FC match to his name has no business playing test cricket just because he bowls quick. He will get injured.
 
LSG owner Shashwat Goenka explained that his injury concerns weren’t the deciding factor while talking to local media outlet:

“The way you look at it, when a player is playing a match, is he able to contribute to a win? I think Mayank fits that bill perfectly. He played in four games last season and picked up seven wickets. That itself shows the potential of the individual. If you look at other players with similar backgrounds, when they first started off, they were injury-prone as well, and they had to work on their fitness, if I can put it that way.”

“So that (injury) wasn’t the deciding factor; it was about when he plays, what is the contribution he makes to the game and to LSG. That was the guiding principle behind keeping him.”
 
This guy is so injury-prone that if you take a breath near this guy, he will get injured.

Man made of glass.
