Post-match, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis decoded the skill set that makes Mayank Yadav so deadly.
The Delhi tearaway left RCB batters at his mercy after his sensational spell where he registered 3/14.
On a night when records tumbled as the LSG pacer clocked 156.7 km/h to achieve the fastest performance in the current edition and overall the fourth fastest in the history of the entire tournament.
He dismissed Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar, denting RCB’s hopes of chasing 182.
After the match, Du Plessis pointed out the factors that make Mayank more lethal, apart from his blazing pace.
“As with any new young fast bowler, it’s an action you haven’t seen before and he has the pace behind it. His pace was great, but more impressive was his ability to control the length and bowl with discipline. It’s pace combined with accuracy,” du Plessis said after the match.
