Team India's newest pace sensation Mayank Yadav secured his maiden international wicket as he got rid of Mahmudullah Riyad in the opening T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior on Sunday, October 6. The right-arm speedster consistently clocked 140 kph-plus speed to rattle the visiting batters on his India debut.
The dismissal occurred in the eighth over of Bangladesh's innings as India skipper Suryakumar Yadav handed the ball to Mayank for his second. Mahmudullah charged at the 22-year-old, who bowled a maiden to start his international career but could only carve the ball to deep point as Washington Sundar took a straightforward catch.
Watch the dismissal below:
Mayank had made his name in IPL 2024 with his raw pace while plying his trade for the Lucknow Super Giants. Although he had played only four matches, the pacer finished with seven scalps before being ruled out due to an injury.
Along with Mayank, all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy also made his Team India debut in the opening T20I against Bangladesh.
Mayank Yadav finishes with figures of 4-1-21-1 as India bowl Bangladesh out for 127
Even as the right-arm pacer had impressive figures of 4-1-21-1, fellow Indian bowlers were even more prolific. Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy picked up three wickets each to finish as the pick of the bowlers for the hosts. Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar also took one wicket each.
As for Bangladesh, they found themselves on the back foot from the get-go as only captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz managed to get past the 20-run mark. Mehidy top-scored with an unbeaten 35 off 32 balls as Bangladesh were bowled out for 127 in 19.5 overs.
The preceding two-match Test series between both sides resulted in a 2-0 win for India. Although the Bangla Tigers will be hoping for a better showing in the shortest format, India won the game in Gwalior by seven wickets with 49 balls to spare.
