According to former cricketer Aakash Chopra, Mayank Yadav will play in his first international match on October 6 in Gwalior against Bangladesh in the inaugural Twenty20 International. While playing for the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2024 Indian Premier League, the star pacer generated a lot of excitement. However, he was forced to miss just four games due to an abdominal strain, and he hasn’t played in professional cricket since.
Since then, he has been a member of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and has worked very hard to regain his rhythm. Although the BCCI selectors wanted him to succeed in white-ball cricket before putting him at risk in red-ball cricket, he was anticipated to play in the Duleep Trophy 2024. He has since fully recovered from his injury and been added to India’s team for the Twenty20 International series against Bangladesh.
Despite having only played 14 T20 matches in his career, the BCCI has expedited the Delhi Pacer’s promotion to the national team due to his promise. He currently faces fierce competition, though, as Harshit Rana is also a member of the team. The bowler is among the other favorites to make his debut after having an outstanding IPL 2024. In addition, Arshdeep Singh is open for selection, and players like Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya are willing to roll their sleeves when called upon.
Examining the circumstances, Aakash Chopra concluded that it would be foolish to bench Mayank because of his explosive speed, which can easily disconcert any opponent.
He said that although Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are capable of making their international debuts, Mayank ought to be selected first due to his superior qualities.
Because Mayank Yadav can be kept for four crores if he doesn’t receive a cap, there are three competitors who both the franchises and we will be keeping an eye on. In a similar vein, if they don’t receive Indian caps, KKR and SunRisers Hyderabad can keep Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy, respectively, for four crores, Chopra posted on his YouTube channel.

You are a medium pacer or a quick bowler. Either or applies. You’ve moved ahead of him. You’ve stated that you don’t care about his first-class performances or how many cricket matches he has participated in. Play him if you have selected him. “You don’t choose a sword and then put it in a sheath,” the former opener for India continued.
