What strategy should be adopted against Mayank Yadav's pace?
Matthew Hayden suggested, “One of the things that is happening in this competition is that at the moment all eyes are on Mayank Yadav, everyone is working on the strategy of how to play his balls. On good length. It is difficult to hit a ball bowled with good speed. The correct way to play such a ball is that you have to let the ball come to you. The batsman should not forcefully hit the ball on the front foot or back foot. “Just bear the pressure and the ball will do the rest because it will be coming at a very high speed.”
Mayank has till now made victims of powerful batsmen like Jonny Bairstow, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell with his bowling. Talking about the match against RCB, till the time Mayank Yadav's spell was going on, a feeling of fear was seen among the batsmen of the opposition team. The batsmen were not even able to touch their bat with the ball. Mayank took 3 wickets for 14 runs in 4 overs against RCB.
