Mayank Yadav, a 21-year-old from Delhi, has consistently challenged the speed limits in every match he plays. His recent display of bowling a thunderous delivery at 156.7 kmph against Royal Challengers Bangalore exemplifies his prowess.

Claiming back-to-back Player of the Match awards in his debut season, Mayank has quickly become the standout discovery of the season. Nevertheless, he views the IPL as a stepping stone towards his larger ambition of representing his country.
