Srinagar: South Africa star pacer Kangiso Rabada has hailed the India’s young pace sensation, Mayank Yadav and has said that he is going to terrorise batters.
Mayank Yadav has taken ongoing IPL 2024 by storm with his express pace. He has shined for LSG in the last two matches. Now South Africa star pacer Rabada has hailed Mayank.
“It’s just raw pace, man,” Rabada was quoted by Hindustan Times.
“He is really sharp, that’s obvious. It’s a massive weapon. He will always rush the batsman. And he’s showing some good control too,” He said.
“He was born with the pace. Pace is not bought in the market. That’s his genuine weapon,” Rabada grinned, adding that with the two-bouncers rule in play, batters should never look to take on a bowler of his pace. “The two bouncers are helping. He’s banging it in on a back of a length. And batters are trying to take him on but ending up hitting it up. It also messes up their footwork. They’re not quite getting forward. Unless they come forward, they’ll find it hard to get on top of him. Raw pace goes a long way. Teams will have to plan carefully against him,” Rabada was quoted.
Rabada has a suggestion for youngster, “It’s about being fresh mentally. It can be hard if we’re being called to play every single format. Almost every game, just bowling and bowling… If I look back on how I would have done things differently, perhaps I would have been more professional in looking after my body when it comes to recovery.”
