In the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy India did not have the same venom once Jasprit Bumrah was done with his spells. Former Australian spinner Brad Hogg would say once the bowlers get the IPL contract “everything falls out of the window.” “He’s [Mayank Yadav] is injury-prone because he’s young. I’m looking at his first-class stat, he’s only played one FC game. So, he hasn’t played too much of the longer format as well. I think it’s just sheer pace with Mayank Yadav.

Sometimes, they are thinking right, just bowl sheer pace, if I can get an IPL contract, I’m happy. The end,” Hogg said on hi YouTube channel. “Once they get that IPL contract, everything falls out …
