His speed has come with accuracy too, and batters have found it difficult to play him. Mayank was hailed as the find of IPL 2024 and experts even questioned in favour of the LSG pacer being selected in the India squad for the T20 World Cup. However, an injury has sidelined him for now, and his chances of a debut call up looks distant.
