Following the two top-quality performances from Mayank Yadav, his mother spoke to Aaj Tak about her son’s dietary habits, talking about how he turned vegetarian recently after eating non-veg food for a long while. She said, as per the report from NDTV, “Mayank has just turned vegetarian. Earlier, he used to eat non-veg food. He has been eating vegetarian food for the last 2 years. Whatever he has been asking us to make, based on his diet chart, we would make for him. He wouldn't eat anything special, dal, roti, rice, milk, veggies, etc.”
“He said that non-veg food wasn't suiting his body much. He told us about two reasons. First, he started to believe in Lord Krishna, which could be one of the reasons too. We didn't force him to reveal why he quit non-veg food. He said whatever I was doing, was good for his game and his body,” added Mamta Yadav, the mother of Mayank Yadav.
The next match for Mayank Yadav in the IPL 2024 will happen on April 7, Sunday, when his team Lucknow Super Giants take on Gujarat Titans at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
