None of the RCB batsmen had any answer to his fast bowling. Even Australia’s batsmen, who are considered experts in playing fast bowling, were seen struggling in front of Mayank Yadav.Mayank Yadav clean bowled Cameron Green. The Australian batsman looked so helpless in front of Mayank’s pace that by the time his feet could move, the ball had already taken off with the bails. When Green was bowled, the commentator said, ‘Foot going to Japan and bat going to Korea…’
Perhaps Glenn Maxwell was drowned by his ego. The Australian batsmen probably did not like the way Mayank Yadav was bowling and the pressure the batsmen were under. Maxwell tried to counter attack against Mayank Yadav and failed miserably.
Maxwell tried to pull Mayank’s bouncer, but by the time he could get in position to play the shot, the ball had already hit the bat. In this way Maxwell was forced to return to the pavilion after giving an easy catch.Mayank Yadav made Rajat Patidar his third victim. He got Rajat caught by Devdutt Padikkal.
