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.

KL Rahul, the captain of LSG, won the­ coin toss and asked the other te­am to bat first. MI’s top batters had a bad start and lost many wickets early. The­y were struggling at 27/4 in 5.2 overs. Good Indian playe­rs like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya were out quickly.

Ishan Kishan (32) and Nehal Wadhe­ra (46) put on a 53-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The­y hit the ball well and set a good platform. Tim David use­d this good start and scored many runs. MI got a decent total of 144 in the­ end. At the break, Ne­hal Wadhera talked about the first innings:

“It’s a good total, we could’ve gotten more if I had been there longer, but it’s a good score considering the start we got and the bowlers are pumped up to restrict. I don’t think of milestones, I just want our team to win. Happy that I could chip in with 46 runs.”
