He bowled the fastest delivery of IPL 2024.
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have gained a massive boost for the remaining season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Their star pacer Mayank Yadav is set to return from injury. The bowler was recovering from a back injury when he hit his toe on the bed to further delay his comeback.
He might replace Akash Deep in the LSG playing XI. The team may use him as an impact player.
The 22-year-old is likely to play the match against Rajasthan Royals on April 19. The BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru has provided clearance to Mayank to participate in the T20 league.
Last season, Mayank made the headlines by bowling two fastest deliveries. He clocked 155.8 km/h against the Punjab Kings on his IPL debut. In his second match, against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he broke his own record while bowling fiercely at 156.7 km/h.

However, skipper Pant’s form with the willow is a huge concern for the franchise. The wicketkeeper-batter has managed to score only 40 runs in his five innings so far.
With four victories in six matches, the LSG are currently in the fourth position on the IPL 2025 points table. They will play against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Ekana Stadium tonight.
