A fast bowler nameÂd Mayank Yadav plays for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team in cricket gameÂs. On Tuesday (April 30), he was back in the group of playeÂrs who were chosen to play afteÂr not playing for a few previous games beÂcause he had some injurieÂs that were hurting him.
But, his comeback did not go weÂll. He could not finish bowling his four overs because another fitness problem occurreÂd. Mayank left the field afteÂr 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.
