Mayank Yadav has been the talk of the town for his fabulous bowling. The 21-year-old pacer from New Delhi has been hogging the limelight for his menacing bowling and has been constantly sending shivers down the spines of the opposition batters.
In Match 11 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and then again in Match 15 of IPL 2024 versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Mayank has been breathing fire with the white-cherry.
He has already bagged 6 wickets in the ongoing IPL and has been a force to reckon with for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). In fact, it is safe to say that LSG have staged a remarkable turnaround in IPL 2024 after their opening game loss, majorly because of Mayank Yadav.
In this article, we take a look at 3 reasons why Mayank Yadav should get a national call-up soon:
1. Mayank Yadav has genuine raw pace
Mayank Yadav has the ability to constantly clock deliveries above 150 KMPH and we have seen that in both Match 11 and Match 15 of IPL 2024. His stock delivery is his short ball and already has bowled the fastest delivery in IPL 2024.
Yadav had bowled a 155.8 delivery to Shikhar Dhawan in Match 11 and then bowled a 156.7 KMPH delivery in the match against Bengaluru. India has always lacked a genuine quick bowler and Mayank Yadav could possibly fill in the void.
2. Yadav can be groomed for the future
Mayank Yadav is just 21 years of age. He can be groomed for the future and can be the backbone of the bowling department of India in faster pitches in Australia and South Africa.
India can then make sure that they look into the eyes of the opposition teams and make them have an abject surrender in front of them. This is the best time for Mayank Yadav to be getting the exposure and he could be a real bolt from the blue.

3. He has control along with speed
In the last few years, pacer Umran Malik too had been hogging the limelight for his raw pace. But what Malik lacked was control over his line and length. From the little we have witnessed Mayank Yadav; we have seen that he has exercised control over his line and length.
If this persists, he should be handed an India cap, immediately as he would be a real match-winner for the Indian cricket team.
