How ‘teacher-like’ Bumrah bhaiyya helped Mayank Yadav recover from career-threatening injuries and surgery

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Mar 23, 2026 10:16 PM IST Express Indian pacer Mayank Yadav opened up about his interactions with star Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah, whose tips helped him during his rehabilitation following a string of career-threatening injuries and subsequent surgery. “Everything has changed for me post-surgery. Earlier, I never used to take care of myself. Whenever I had to do a recovery session, I used to avoid it and neglect many aspects,” Mayank told JioStar’s ‘IPL Today Live’. “But after the surgery, I paid a lot of attention to recovery, nutrition and sleep. The more I respect my body, the more my body respects me on the field.” “When I was in rehab at the NCA, Bumrah bhaiyya was also there. I have a very good bonding with him. He is like a teacher to me. He also had the same surgery, the same scenario,” he said.

Mayank Yadav on his dropped pace post injury

Mayank Yadav on his dropped pace post injury

Published by Webster

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ace pacer Mayank Yadav returned to action in the Indian Premier League 2025 after recovering from a lower back injury, which kept him away for more than six months. He made his comeback against Mumbai Indians and picked two wickets — big scalps of Rohit Sharma and MI skipper Hardik Pandya — in his first game. However, the speed merchant has lost significant pace and has been quite expensive in the two outings he has had in this IPL. But, the Delhi pacer believes that the drop in his speeds after returning from an injury layoff “is normal”, and said that he needs to give his body time to return to the same match intensity and fitness standards. “This is normal. I had a major injury because of which I was out of cricket for five to six months. The body will adapt and take its own time. I will have to give some time to my body and my bowling to get those speeds back. There have been no changes …

Mayank Yadav on his dropped pace post injury

Mayank Yadav, last season’s tearaway quick, returns with fastest ball clocked at 142.7 kmph

Published by Webster

It was an afternoon where Lucknow Super Giants’ Mayank Yadav started with a delivery that clocked 141kmph and ended his four-over quota with an off-cutter bowled at 109kmph. The Delhi speedster who caught the eye after he hit 156.7 kmph on the speed gun last season has been hampered by injuries. And playing his first competitive outing since the T20I series against Bangladesh last October, the key takeaway from his return game is that Mayank has come back as a slower bowler. At least going by the first sighting. Maybe he is treading cautiously — given the back injury he has had — before going full throttle. According to those in the know, a long-term plan has been put in place to ensure he gradually increases the load and pace. But not once on Sunday where he bowled four overs (4-0-40-2) did he even attempt to bowl at tearaway pace with his fastest ball clocked at 142.7 kmph.

IPL 2025 fastest balls update: Despite being ruled out of the tournament indefinitely, Punjab Kings pacer Lockie Ferguson has set the speed guns ablaze in the IPL 2025 season, leading the charts for the fastest deliveries bowled in the ongoing edition. Ferguson bowled a 153.2 kmph thunderbolt during the Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings clash earlier in the tournament. Rajasthan Royals’ Jofra Archer and Gujarat Titans’ Kagiso Rabada are the other bowlers to breach the 150-kph mark. They were later joined by Kolkata Knight Riders’ Anrich Nortje and Gujarat’s Prasidh Krishna who is the only Indian bowler to hit 150 kph this season. The IPL has witnessed some of the fastest international bowlers line up for franchises across 17 editions. Australian quick Shaun Tait was recorded to have bowled the quickest ball ever in IPL history. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, Tait bowled a 157.7 delivery to Delhi Daredevils batter Aaron Finch in 2011. Incidentally, Ferguson also holds the record for the second fastest delivery ever in the IPL, with his searing 157.3 kph during …

Lucknow Super Giants’ head coach Justin Langer heaped praise on Digvesh Rathi’s work ethic after the spinner walked away with a player-of-the-match performance against Mumbai Indians on Friday. The 25-year-old dismissed a red-hot Naman Dhir and allowed 21 runs at just over five runs per over, while every other Lucknow bowler conceded at least 10 per over. Mumbai fell 12 runs short of Lucknow’s 203 from their 20 overs. FOLLOW: CSK vs DC LIVE SCORE, IPL 2025 UPDATES “Like all the great spinners, he loves bowling,” Langer said in the press conference after Digvesh’s 1/21 on a high-scoring night. “Oh my gosh, if he could bowl 16 hours a day, he’d bowl 16 hours a day,” Langer told reporters of Rathi, who has picked up six wickets in four matches. He probably bowls in the corridor of the hotel, he bowls at breakfast, he bowls in the shower, he bowls everywhere … he is being rewarded for years and years of practice, and now he is in the big league, he has got an unbelievable …

Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mayank Yadav’s recovery path from an injury has turned from bad to worse after suffering a fresh injury on his toe in a freak accident. Already confirmed to miss the first half of the IPL 2025 season due to a lumbar stress injury, Yadav has hurt toe after kicking the bed! “Mayank, who everyone was very excited about last year, he was going quite well [recovering from a back injury], and he kicked his toe on the bed,” head coach Justin Langer revealed on the eve of LSG’s clash against the Delhi Capitals in Vizag. “He got an infection in his toe. It’s put his rehab back about a week or two weeks. But he’s up and running. We regularly see videos of him bowling. I saw a video of his yesterday.

He’s (Mayank Yadav) only played one FC game…Once they get that IPL contract, everything falls out of the window: Brad Hogg | Cricket News

When Mayank Yadav burst onto the scene for Lucknow Super Giants he did rattle the batters with his high pace. However, his career has been curtailed by injuries. 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. There are a couple of other bowlers that are very similar to him that bowl 145-150-plus but I think with young Indian bowlers coming through they bowl that pace. 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 …

IPL Auction 2025: After allowing their former captain KL Rahul to join the Delhi Capitals (DC), the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made one of the biggest moves in auction history by spending an IPL record of Rs 27 crore to acquire former DC captain Rishabh Pant. Despite making Pant the most expensive player in league history, LSG continued to build their roster, adding Abdul Samad, Aryan Juyal, David Miller, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and Avesh Khan. The LSG franchise opted to retain five players before the auction in Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Ayush Badoni and Mohsin Khan. The LSG team spent a combined ₹51 crore to retain these five players. Despite their acquisitions, LSG will be left to rely on a chunk of Indian pacers and lay out a batting order without a lot of heavyweight top-order players.
