The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer was handed a national call-up thanks to his eye-catching performances with the ball in IPL 2024.
Mayank removed the dangerous Mahmudullah in the eight over as the veteran Bangladeshi batter tried to dance down the track and hit on the off-side. He ended up slicing the shot as it went straight into Washington Sundar's hands.
