Luckn ow Super Giants fast bowling sensation Mayank Yadav seemingly got injured against Mumbai Indians in the third over of his quota after dismissing Mohammad Nabi with a blistering hard-length delivery. Yadav has been dubbed as one of the brightest stars to be discovered from the IPL with his blistering pace and pinpoint accuracy.
The 21-year-old from Delhi burst onto the scene on his debut against the Punjab Kings where he picked three game-changing while consistently bowling around the 150 kph mark. He repeated this feat against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and took home his second consecutive Player of the Match award.

But in the game against Gujarat Titans, Yadav picked up an abdominal strain which kept him out of action for the next five games. The LSG speedster returned against MI and seemed at his blistering best before picking up a wicket in his third over. But immediately after his first delivery, Yadav was rushed off the field. Soon in the second innings, the 21-year-old was subbed out and no official confirmation about his injury has been conveyed.
I don't think of milestones, I just want our team to win: Nehal Wadhera
Coming back to the game, Mumbai Indians had a tough batting effort as they scored 144. The pick of the batters for MI was Nehal Wadhera, who scored 46 in 41 balls with four fours and two sixes. Talking about this performance, Wadhera said, "I think it's a good total, would have gotten more if I had batted longer. (Good recovery) to score 144 from the situation we were in. I think the ball is gripping a bit, wasn't expecting so much turn. It's not an easy target to chase, they will have to bat smartly."
"I don't think of milestones, I just want our team to win. Happy that I could chip in with 46 runs. We haven't won the last few games, we know we all have to win our remaining games, have to give our best and the guys are optimistic, let's see what happens. We need to stop the singles, doubles and the boundaries."
