After his incredible session in which he registered 3/14, the Delhi tearaway put the RCB hitters at his mercy.
The LSG pacer bowled the fastest delivery in the current edition and the fourth quickest in the tournament’s history on a night when records fell.
RCB’s chances of pursuing 182 were dashed when he removed Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and Rajat Patidar.
Du Plessis identified, following the game, the elements that, beyond just his quickness, render Mayank even more lethal.
“He has the pace to match the motion, and like every fresh young fast bowler, it’s something you’ve never seen before. While his pace was excellent, his ability to manage length and bowl with discipline was even more remarkable. It’s accuracy mixed with speed,” du Plessis remarked following the match.
