In IPL 2024, BCCI will reward Mayank Yadav for bowling the fastest delivery

Due to an injury, the right arm is temporarily out.
After the 21-year-old bowled the fastest delivery in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the decision to honor the team’s newest speed sensation, Mayank Yadav, according to Indian media on Friday.

In the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Yadav, who is playing for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), broke his own record from his debut against the Punjab Kings, clocking in at 155.8 kmph. This is the fastest delivery of the current edition and the fourth fastest in the history of the tournament.

A few months ago, the BCCI proposed a historic Fast Bowling Contract that would provide enormous money along with respectable perks to emerging pacers who did not make it into Grades A, B, or C of the contracts.

The five pacers who first signed the contract were Vidwath Kaverappa, Yash Dayal, Umran Malik, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Akash Deep. However, it appears that after over 25 matches in the IPL 2024, there would be an addition.

Yadav and Mohsin Khan are expected to be added to the fast bowling contract, according to Indian media.

Yes, that is being discussed. Such young talent was the inspiration behind the creation of the Fast Bowling Contract. As you can see, we have Umran, Akash Deep, and other people. Mayank and Mohsin are also involved in the conversation. A BCCI official told Indian media that the selectors will have a say in whether or not some of the young players are added to the contract.

Mayank left the field earlier in the Gujarat Titans game after his pace dipped to 140 kph.

The statement Krunal Pandya made after the game was, “I do not know what is happening but I did have a brief couple of seconds’ chat – he seemed okay, which was quite a relief for us.”

The pacer was also commended by Krunal, who described him as a “bright prospect” with a “good head on his shoulders”.

“I had been observing this promising young man for the past two years. In the nets, he used to bowl weapons.

Regretfully, last year I was unable to go [due to an injury]. But from our chats, it also appears that he has a sound head on his shoulders,” he added.
