Mayank Yadav Reveals His Idol After His Breathtaking Spell Against PBKS
Post match, Mayank talked about his pace and the injuries that he suffered last season. He also revealed that he idolises only one fast bowler and that is Dale Steyn. The South African pacer, on his peak, was probably the greatest fast bowler of the current generation. He had extreme pace and swung the ball at that pace. He had all the tricks up his sleeves and was deadly in all conditions on his prime.
“Speed thrills and excites me, even in general life. Things like rockets, planes and superbikes excite me. In my childhood I used to like jets so you can say I get my inspiration from there. Injuries are part of fast bowlers’ life. Last season also, I also missed playing in IPL because of injury. I idolize only one fast bowler, and that is Dale Steyn.”
