NEW DELHI: Mayank Yadav of the Lucknow Super Giants has been a danger to batters this season. David Miller of the Gujarat Titans recommended on Saturday that his colleagues should either take him down or carefully negotiate his overs when they meet the young pace sensation in their IPL match in Lucknow.
Yadav, who is 21 years old, is one of the most feared bowlers in the IPL 2024 because to his blistering pace and accuracy, which has given LSG a significant advantage over their rivals in the current edition.
With an incredible average of 6.83 in his two games played thus far, Yadav has claimed six wickets. Miller, who was injured and missed their most recent match against Punjab Kings, said it was wonderful to watch the young pacer’s energy.
“He is bowling really well, something that we are aware of and making sure that we do what we need to against him. Sometimes the faster the ball comes the further it goes.
“If you feel like you can take him down (then) take him down, other than that he is bowling really well and just get through (his overs) and you can line up some other bowler (to score runs),” said Miller, GT’s South African middle-order batter, during a pre-match press conference.
“It’s great to see some fast bowlers coming through. Express pace like that is exciting. You get a lot of attention and stuff like that. He’s pretty young, so he’s got a lot of years ahead of him. It’s great to see the energy that he runs in; the exuberance of youth.”
Despite being punished during the three-wicket loss against Shikhar Dhawan‘s team, Miller stated that GT’s dynamic spinner Rashid Khan remained a formidable weapon in the team’s armory.
GT lost a thrilling match against PBKS despite hitting 199 runs, with Shashank Singh scoring an incredible unbeaten 61 off just 29 balls.
Asked if the opposition batters had read his bowling, Miller said it was not the case.
“No, he has been trying hard and bowling really well. The previous game he got hit for a couple of sixes, that’s the nature of the game. They (PBKS) needed to go at 12, 13, 14 (runs) an over.
“So there was no real option for them other than to take those big risks. He (Rashid) is a world-class player, he has played for many years now and he knows exactly what to do.
“He has been hit for a couple of sixes… it’s just one of those things and, as I said, tomorrow is a new game and he has got all the experience that we need as a team. We are right behind him and he is bowling really well,” added Miller.
While Vijay Shankar failed to fire, Miller felt there was no real reason to change the lineup and bring in someone else, including Abhinav Manohar.
“I feel like the batting line-up is doing well and we are very happy with where we are at. There are still a lot of games in the tournament but for now, the guys are in good space,” he said.
“We are disappointed to lose the last game. Had we won that, it would have been three (wins) from four (games).”
