The 25-year-old leg-spinner has now discovered an admirer from throughout the border in Rashid Latif, the previous captain and wicketkeeper-batter of Pakistan. Latif was impressed with Markande’s tempo within the air and even in contrast him with Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan, who’s at the moment the top-ranked bowler within the shortest format of the sport.

“Remember that name, Mayank Markande. He has pace, he is fast through the air. Ravi Bishnoi is good, but he hasn’t succeeded in giving the ball that loop in the air. This guy is a Rashid Khan-type of bowler with a different angle. Batters had difficulties reading his googly. We will see him in future as well. I haven’t seen him play that much, but I saw him bowl yesterday and I think in two years time, he can be a great bowler,” Latif mentioned on his official YouTube channel.

Markande has performed in two video games for SRH this 12 months to this point however has been good in each; in his first recreation of the season in opposition to Punjab Kings, Markande registered good figures of 4/15 in 4 overs.
