Bengaluru: Mayank Yadav bowled a sensational spell of pace bowling, including the fastest delivery of the season measured at 156.7, and claimed 3-14 to help Lucknow Super Giants beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 28 runs in Match 15 of Indian Premier League 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old Yadav, who had taken 3-27 in his debut match against Punjab Kings on Saturday, had breached the 150kmph mark nine times at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium and bowled an absolute scorcher captured by the speed gun at 155.8 kph — the fastest delivery in the ongoing season.
On Tuesday, he was at it again as the right-handed pacer raised the bar once again. Yadav, a product of Sonnet Club of Delhi, touched 156.7 kmph against Cameron Green in Tuesday’s clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
He got the wickets of Glenn Maxwell (0), Cameron Green (9) and Rajat Patidar (29) and with Naveen-Ul-Haq claiming 2-25, Lucknow Super Giants bowled out RCB for 153 in 19.4 overs to win their second win in three matches and moved up to fourth in the standings with four points, the same as Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Gujarat Titans. Rajasthan Royals lead the standings with six points from three matches.
Yadav’s heroics came after opener Quinton de Kock had blasted a 56-ball 81 to lay the foundation while Nicholas Pooran hammered five massive sixes in the final two overs of the match in scoring a 21-ball 40 to propel LSG to 181/5 in 20 overs after RCB had applied the brakes in the middle overs.
