India speedster Mayank Yadav has had a tough time dealing with injuries ever since he made waves in the cricketing fraternity with his 150 kmph plus thunderbolts. The LSG fast bowler, made his much-awaited return to competitive cricket earlier last month in the IPL 2025, but could only play two games and was ruled out with another back injury. Now, he is reportedly set to take the “the Jasprit Bumrah route" to recovery.
Mayank was primarily recovering from a back injury, and missed the entire 2024-25 domestic season. He was recovering at the BCCI's Centre Of Excellence (CoE, formerly NCA) in Bengaluru
“The speedster is all set to follow the Jasprit Bumrah route. Bumrah had consulted and was operated on by specialists in New Zealand. Even when Bumrah was injured in Australia, during the last Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney, his reports were sent to the same specialists in New Zealand," claimed a report by revsports.
"It's going to take a while," Anil Kumble said of Mayank's journey to be the bowler he once was, "But very impressed. For a first game, after a long time, especially against a really good batting line-up, Mumbai Indians, a good surface, Wankhede, you know as a bowler, irrespective of when you are playing at the Wankhede, you don't have too many margins of error. So knowing all of that and coming back from injury, he was very impressive.
"He picked up two important wickets, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. I thought the lengths that he bowled and the variations that he provided, was really good."
Earlier, Bumrah had suffered a back injury during the tour Down Under and missed the ICC Champions Trophy.
