The 21-year-old Mayank bowled at an excellent tempo, with most of his deliveries clocking upwards of 150 as he removed harmful opener Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma at a time when it appeared Punjab Kings can be runaway winners right here.
Chasing 200 for victory, PBKS’ innings faltered regardless of Shikhar Dhawan (70) and Bairstow (42) placing up a century partnership due to the right-arm pacer’s willingness to present it his all.
Mayank, taking part in his maiden IPL recreation, returned miserly figures of three/27 in his 4 overs, which broke the again of the PBKS’ chase.
“Young Mayank bowled serious heat and got the wickets. It was tough last year as he got injured after the first warm-up game. We’re managing him better. He ran in and that was the pleasing thing,” mentioned Morkel, a former South African pace-bowling star.
“We asked the guys to do the basics well on a good wicket. Told him to stick to his lengths and use bouncers. Proud he ran in and bowled gas despite the humidity. How the wicket would play was an unknown, we had to sum up conditions and use them.”
