The fast bowler of Lucknow Super giant Mayank Yadav revealed the reason behind his exclusion from the Duleep Trophy as he recovers from injury. During IPL 2024 the fiery pacer was side-lined after he suffered an injury, ending his dreams of making his India debut following a terrific IPL season. His club coach has revealed details of Mayank recovery and his roadmap to getting back on track to make his first national appearance.
As per reports, Mayank Yadav’s coach Devendra Sharma revealed that the pacer had said he wasn’t allowed to put load on his body when asked about his exclusion from Duleep Trophy squads. He further said that the pacer was made to bowl everyday in the morning at the National Cricket Academy followed by a rehab and exercise session. The Sonnet club coach added that Mayank bowls 8-10 over everyday. Mayank further reportedly told his coach that he was nearing gaining full fitness and is almost pain-free.
Devendra said, “He bowls eight-ten overs daily, and I did ask him why he wasn’t named in Duleep Trophy squads. To this, Mayank replied, ‘Sir, I have been told not to go into it as I can’t put too much load on my body and concentrate on white-ball cricket for now.”
Former India bowling coach TA Sekar believes that Mayank Yadav needs to readjust his technique in order to prevent injuries in the future.
TA Sekar said, “His technique needs to be adjusted to reduce the likelihood of injuries, as anyone who bowls at 156 kmph, as shown by the IPL speed gun, is naturally more prone to injuries.”
