Terming the 21-year-old Mayank Yadav’s IPL entry as “one of the most spectacular debuts,” former England pacer Stuart Broad said on Monday that the young pacer has all the attributes to perform well in Australia in Test cricket and expected him to debut for India in the “next 18 months.”
Mayank’s fiery pace (150 kph and above) and shorter lengths fetched him three wickets (three for 27) and helped Lucknow Super Giants defeat Punjab Kings by 21 runs on Saturday.
Speaking on the Star Sports Press Room show, Broad said: “It was one of the most spectacular debuts I think you will see from a young bowler — to come in and change the rhythm of the game like he did. He has great attributes — a very calm and patterned run-up with small-strides and a great flow.
