Mayank revealed that he felt nervous before the match and that he didn’t expect his debut to be so good.
Debutant Mayank Yadav picks wicket he cherishes the most
“Never thought it would be such a good debut. Was nervous before the match. Tried to stick to my pace and aim at the stumps. Was thinking about using slower ones initially, but stuck to the quick ones. First wicket (Bairstow) was special. It’s good to debut at such a young age. Had a few goals, but can’t help if injuries come in the way,” Mayank Yadav.
