BCCI Showing Mayank Yadav Video of Haris Rauf

BCCI Showing Mayank Yadav Video of Haris Rauf: Pakistani sports writer Farid Khan has come under heavy fire from supporters for his forecast on Indian quick bowler Mayank Yadav.

In a widely shared video, Farid stated that Mayank would represent India in the T20 World Cup and that the management of the squad is preparing him for the June 9 match against Pakistan by showing him clips of bowler Haris Rauf from Pakistan.

Mayank has been creating waves for those who are unfamiliar with him since he made his IPL debut for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) last month.

With his blistering pace, Mayank has won over experts and former cricket players despite only having played two games. During Tuesday’s match against RCB, he bowled the fastest ball of the 2024 Indian Premier League, clocking in at 156.7.

Mayank has taken six wickets while allowing only 41 runs to be scored in two games. Many have predicted that the 21-year-old will feature for India in the upcoming months.

Speaking on Mayank, Farid claimed that former Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel, who is part of LSG’s support staff, is working on Mayank to get him ready for the T20 World Cup, especially for the game against India.

“Mayank Yadav will be part of India’s T20 World Cup squad. I assure you. You can take a screenshot of my post. India are getting him ready and he will play against Pakistan. BCCI is already showing him videos of Haris Rauf’s spell against India in the last T20 World Cup. Former Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel is at LSG, he is getting Mayank ready,” Farid said in a video posted by him on X (formerly Twitter).

Meanwhile, former India batter Manoj Tiwary said that if he was the selector, he would pick Mayank as India’s third-choice pacer after Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.

“If I was in Ajit Agarkar’s position I would put him in. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and then him. Looking at Mayank’s form, action and release it looks like he is in control and it feels like if you give him a bigger stage, he will deliver. With IPL where many overseas players do come in and get them out, your confidence will also go up,” Tiwary said in a discussion on Cricbuzz.
