Mumbai. Indian cricket team's new sensation fast bowler Mayank Yadav won everyone's hearts with his brilliant bowling against Bangladesh. On his T20 debut, he troubled the batsmen a lot with his fast ball. Former left-arm fast bowler RP Singh believes that there should be no hurry in bringing Mayank Yadav into Test cricket. He is in the early stages of his career.
Mayank, who impressed with his pace in the Indian Premier League (IPL), made a great debut for India in the opening T20 against Bangladesh in Gwalior. Mayank has played only one first-class match so far but considering his special talent, he has been included in the national team.
RP Singh is impressed by Mayank's pace and control but feels that it is too early for such a bowler to be a part of the five-Test series in Australia. He said, “Akash Deep should be in the fast bowling attack for the Australia tour. His way of bowling seems better. Mayank Yadav has pace, which is an aspect of fast bowling.
“There are many variations and skills which develop gradually,” he said in a conversation organized by Jio Cinema. Mayank is in the initial stage of his career. There is a lot of workload in a test match. Your patience and skills are tested. Mayank has not played as much domestic cricket as Akash Deep or Mohammed Shami (before joining the Indian team). Mayank is still yet to reach that level. Akash Deep is a better option.
