He was seen bowling at the nets last week and Lucknow’s coach Morne Morkel on Monday has confirmed Mayank’s completely fitness news ahead of the mega clash against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.
LSG, who have won 5 games in their 9 outings so far and are sitting in fifth spot on the points table, will benefit from Yadav’s inclusion in the team for the clash against MI.
With Rohit Sharma, the regular skipper of team India, is a part of Mumbai Indians, it is a good chance for young Mayank Yadav to impress the national team’s skipper.
