Netizens can’t keep calm as debutant Mayank Yadav bowls IPL 2024’s fastest ball

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have unearthed a gem in young pacer Mayank Yadav. The debutant sent shockwaves through the cricketing world on Saturday, clocking a fiery 155.8 kmph delivery – the fastest by an Indian bowler in IPL 2024 so far.

Yadav, who represents Delhi in domestic cricket, took the center stage against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The 21-year-old impressed everyone with his raw pace, unleashing the tournament’s fastest ball to date. The delivery left the pair of Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh rattled, sending Twitter into a frenzy.

Fans erupted online, praising Yadav’s potential and expressing excitement.
