More on Mayank
“I don’t bowl to check the pace in the speedometer. My focus is bowling good lines and lengths and making it difficult for the batters. And I want to make sure that I execute the plans that we sit and make as a team before the team,” he added.
“It is a natural ability. From a very young age, I have been able to bowl pace. I have been able to groom that skill. I have been fortunate to have good people around me, telling what I need to improve and where I lack at various stages of my journey. I have listened to them and been able to improve my game,” he said.
