A fast bowler named Mayank Yadav plays for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team in cricket games. On Tuesday (April 30), he was back in the group of players who were chosen to play after not playing for a few previous games because he had some injuries that were hurting him.
But, his comeback did not go well. He could not finish bowling his four overs because another fitness problem occurred. Mayank left the field after bowling just 3.1 overs in the first half of the game against Mumbai Indians team at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow city.
Mayank Yadav continued to bowl at fast rates in his opening three overs of this match, but he remained consistent, surrendering 31 runs. KL Rahul, the LSG captain, supported the fast pacer and gave him the ball in the nineteenth over.
Mayank Yadav returned his captain’s confidence by removing Mohammad Nabi (1) on the first ball of the 19th over with a 143.1 kph delivery.

Much to the sorrow of Indian cricket fans, Mayank was unable to continue and exited the field immediately owing to a fitness issue.
