India was surprised when Mayank Adadav, who has a sense of speed, climbed the IPL ladder.
With every match, he cemented his name deeper into cricketing folklore. In a stunning move, Adadav set his IPL season on fire by hitting a 156.7 kmph shot.
His ferocious spell caught the attention of the crowd with figures of 3-14 against Royal Challenger Bengaluru and 3-27 in the first match against Punjab Kings.
Former West Indies speedster Ian Bishop likened the island to “bowling like a child of the wind”, a testament to the 21-year-old’s contribution to the world of cricket.
With praise from veterans like Irfan Pathan and Brett Lee, the clamor for India’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup has grown. Undeterred by the limelight, Adadav remained committed to his goal, saying he wanted to keep wearing the Indian jersey.
Harsha Bogle’s fervent call to testify to the talent of adadav echoed across the platform and declared him the new jewel of Lucknow. Virender Sehwag, known for his aggressive batting, praised the batsman’s accuracy and ability to dismiss top-order players and signaled his potential to shine on the international stage.
Adadav’s journey from humble upbringing to IPL stardom may seem straight out of a fairy tale, but club coach Devendra Sharma sees it as destiny. With unwavering faith in Adadav’s abilities, Sharma predicted his meteoric rise, saying his booming pace and natural talent were the result of a cricketing legend.
