Former Australian pace sensation brett lee New Indian star pacer praised Mayank Yadav Performing in the Indian Premier League for Lucknow Super Giants. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Mayank Yadav made a explosive start to the Indian Premier League (IPL), troubling the batsmen with his blistering pace and consistently clocking over 150 kmph.
“First of all, it was great to see him bowling at that pace. Unfortunately last night his pace dropped below 135 and he got injured. So, I think maybe he has a strain in his arm, but at some point in the game -Sometimes it happens. You get injured, but I am wishing him a speedy recovery and hopefully he comes back and bowls fast again, but it is amazing to see an Indian player bowling more than 150. Was exciting,” Brett Lee said while speaking to ANI.
Mayank bowled the ball at a speed of 156.7 kmph during the game, the fastest ball in the ongoing edition and the fourth fastest overall in the history of the entire tournament.
During LSG’s win over GT, Mayank’s bowling was much awaited by fans, who were impressed by the bowler’s pace, line and length. He was continuously hitting the speed of 150 km per hour. But Mayank looked a bit lost in the GT Clash, barely touching the speed of 140 kmph and hitting three fours. Mayank walked out of the field after bowling his only over.
“Of course, I keep saying that fast bowlers unfortunately get injured. It’s part of the game, I have been injured many times playing the game, but you have to take the good with the bad and you have to make sure That you move your body into a position.” You feel comfortable and you can play despite the pain. There’s good pain and bad pain but my advice to them is to keep doing what you’re doing and make sure your work is as good as it can be and that’s what has helped me grow throughout my career I’ve made sure I’ve There is extra hard work on the body and the hardest work you are doing is not the opponent, it is your own body. So, he is only young and I don’t want to put too much pressure on him. Let that man rest. I keep saying take it easy, take it easy, you’ll be OK,” Brett Lee said.

What’s to come Well, as I say there is that passion when you walk on the field and even when we retire from this beautiful game of cricket, once we go to Edgbaston on 3rd July. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Brett Lee said.
“Sports have always been my biggest passion, which is why I took the opportunity to be a part of the Punjab De Sher team in the CCL.

Concept of the WCL is excellent, England as a venue is fantastic, our team is exceptionally strong, and our enthusiasm for cricket knows no bounds,” quoted Australia Champions owner Puneet Singh.
“Definitely when we were planning the WCL one of our thought processes was to include the best stars. So, when we talk about star power, obviously, they are the biggest but at the same time, We should have a team which is very competitive. The concept we have is that we do not just have retired players, but we have players who are not contracted with the respective cricket boards, so it It gives an opportunity to create space and experience with someone like Brett, who still has the ability to swing in and out and include some of the players who are still not signed with the board,” said WCL CEO Harshit Tomar. Yes, they can make a very strong team.

It’s all about this But it depends on what you do. It’s the same with the WCL. We can go and play the best possible cricket and the best brand of cricket because we showcase our talent and even if the people are a little older But the competition and camaraderie will still be there. The spectacle for the crowd and the crowd will love it because they will know all the names and faces and that fight will still be there.

Athletes are there because you’re being paid to be a professional athlete and do it in the best way possible,” Brett Lee said.
