Brett Lee has given an important advice to Mayank Yadav, which is to focus on his fitness. Mayank Yadav, who impressed everyone with his fast bowling in IPL 2024, took three wickets in a row in the first two matches and won the Player of the Match award along with winning both the matches.

But, in the third match against Gujarat Titans, he could bowl only one over due to injury and had to leave the field. Now this 24-year-old fast bowler is likely to not be able to play some more matches.
Brett Lee said while talking to TOI, “Fast bowlers are at a higher risk of injuries, so it is important that Mayank Yadav handles his workload. As a new player, his impressive raw talent and bowling technique should be nurtured properly.”

Recognizing his potential, especially with his exciting speed of 150 kmph, it is very important to give consistent good performance. Speaking from my two decades of experience, fitness and consistency should be maintained in performance,” Brett Lee said.

“Everything was fine according to the doctor and physios. He bowled the first over against GT and then felt something in the hip. The MRI scan showed a little swelling. We are hoping he will be fit quickly and start bowling again,” Justin Langer said.
In Mayank Yadav’s absence, LSG have lost their next two matches to Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Now their next match is with Chennai Super Kings which will be on Friday, 19 April. But, Mayank Yadav’s chances of playing in the match seem less.
