LSG Vs PBKS: Lucknow Super Giants has introduced the world with a whole new pace sensation as debutant Mayank Yadav has rattled the batting order of Punjab Kings with his immense pace. In his very first over of his IPL career, the Indian pacer clocked the fastest bowl of the tournament by bowling his delivery at 155.8kmph, which is almost 156kmph. The pacer wasn't just about his pace, but also his line and impact as well, as he took the first three wickets of the PBKS with his impressive bowling.

Throughout his spell, the righ-arm pacer from Delhi managed to clock the minimum speed of 141kmph, and maintained an average of above 145kmph, a feat that is rarely achieved by bowlers in the format's history.

A 'Man Of The Match' Debut For Yadav Express Of LSG

Mayank Yadav made a memorable debut against Punjab Kings and grabbed the Man of the Match award for his excellent and gruesome bowling performance, which included first three wickets of PBKS, which started the debacle of Shikhar Dhawan-led side.

"I didn't think that the debut would go this way. Have heard from everyone that there is nervousness but after bowling the first ball, the nerves settled. Everyone told me to bowl on the stumps and use the pace. At first, there was a thought to use the slower balls but after the wicket assisted me, my captain told me to bowl fast. I enjoyed my maiden wicket. I had kept my goals that I would make my debut at a young age. But that wasn't the case. But happy with my performance tonight," said Mayank Yadav at the post match presentation ceremony.
