Mayank Yadav marks fiery comeback, dismisses Rohit Sharma at Wankhede | Cricket News – The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants’ quick bowler Mayank Yadav made a rousing return to aggressive cricket, putting in model by dismissing Rohit Sharma of their IPL conflict towards Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Returning after an extended damage layoff, Mayank was handed the brand new ball by skipper Rishabh Pant and confirmed no indicators of rust. His first over, bowled to Ryan Rickelton, featured 4 deliveries clocking over 140 kmph. Although Rickelton managed a boundary, Mayank’s management and sharp tempo have been spectacular after almost seven months out.

The actual spotlight got here in Mayank’s second over. After Rohit Sharma smashed him for again-to-again sixes — a deep sq. hit adopted by a signature pull over sq. leg — the younger pacer responded brilliantly. Regaining his composure, Mayank delivered a slower quick ball that Rohit steered straight to Prince Yadav at quick third man, falling for 12 off 5 balls.
Who’s that IPL participant?
Mayank’s comeback is important, given his damage struggles — together with 5 stress fractures and a latest toe damage that delayed his return after becoming a member of LSG on April 16. His final aggressive recreation was a T20I towards Bangladesh in October 2024.
Replacing Shardul Thakur within the XI, the 22-yr-outdated’s profitable return was a serious increase for LSG, who elected to discipline first after successful the toss.
Mumbai Indians made two adjustments themselves, bringing in Karn Sharma and debutant Corbin Bosch.
