Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Mayank Yadav made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut with a bang, troubling batters along with his fiery tempo, hitting the 150 kmph plus mark persistently.

“Firstly it was great to see him bowl that pace. Unfortunately last night his pace went down at 135 and he went off going injured. So, I think he has got a strain maybe on the side but that happens in sports sometimes. You get injured but I am wishing him a speedy recovery and hopefully getting back and bowling fast again but to see someone from India bowling over a 150 Ks was super exciting,” mentioned Brett Lee whereas talking to ANI.

Mayank clocked 156.7 kmph through the recreation and bowled the quickest supply within the ongoing version and total the fourth quickest within the historical past of all the event.

During LSG’s win over GT, Mayank’s bowling was much-anticipated by followers, who have been impressed with the bowler’s tempo, line and size. He was hitting 150 kmph persistently. But within the GT conflict, Mayank seemed somewhat off, barely capable of contact 140 kmph and was hit for 3 boundaries. After delivering his solely over, Mayank walked off the sphere.

“Definitely, I keep saying fast bowlers unfortunately get injured. Its part of the game I have been injured so many times playing sport but you have to take the good with the bad and you have to make sure that you take your body into a situation that you feel comfortable and you can play through pain. There is good pain and bad pain but my advice to him would be to keep doing what you are doing. Making sure that you action is as sound as possible and thats what has helped me carry through my career. I made sure I did the extra bit and work. Work on my body and the hardest thing you are doing is not the opponent that you are up against, it is your own body. So, he is only young and I don’t want to put too much pressure on him. Let the guy relax. I keep saying Aaram se, aaram se, relax, take it easy. You will be fine,” mentioned Brett Lee.

Fans will quickly see the Australian speedster in motion as soon as once more when the 2003 World Cup-winning workforce member will compete within the World Championship Of Legends.

WCL is a premier cricket league authorised by the England and Wales Cricket Board and co-owned by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn. The league’s matches will likely be hosted on the Edgbaston floor in Birmingham, promising an exhilarating show of cricketing expertise.

“Firstly it’s great to be here. WCL is going to be a lot of fun. Ofcourse that adrenaline, that passion will still come out and that’s a thing we are getting older. We still have that passion to play for our country and you know the names that we are going to come up against are absolutely incredible. Looking forward to get bowling again is going to be a lot of fun,” mentioned Brett Lee.

Puneet Singh has acquired the Australia Champions workforce within the World Championship Of Legends wherein Brett Lee will likely be taking part in. The Aussie will likely be up towards the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell and lots of different gamers towards whom he has competed earlier than.

“Its funny because when you play against these guys for 20 years you obviously have those battles on the field but the great thing I guess that I have been fortunate is that I have made a lot of friendships on the field. I think about guys from India who used to play against Yuvraj Singh obviously teammate when we used to play for Punjab Kings. I have played against Bhajji. So, looking forward to play against him as well, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell is going to be a lot of fun as well. So, as I say this there is that passion when you walk at the field and even though when we are now retired from this beautiful game cricket. Once we go at Edgbaston come July 3. Looks like its going to be a lot of fun,” mentioned Brett Lee.

“Sports has always been my greatest passion, which is why I took up the opportunity to be part of Punjab De Sher team in CCL. A similar passion was the drive behind being a part of WCL by owning Australia Champions. The concept of WCL is excellent, England as the venue is fantastic, our team is exceptionally strong, and our enthusiasm for cricket knows no bounds,” quoted Australia Champions proprietor Puneet Singh.

“Definitely when we were planning WCL one thought process we had was to have the bestest of the stars. So, when we talk about star power. Obviously, they are the biggest but at the same time, we should have a squad that is very competitive. The concept that we have is that we don’t have just retired players but the players that we have players that are not signed with the respective cricket boards as well. So, that gives the chance for making the team which is full of experience with someone like Brett who still have that thing of swinging in and out and getting some players who are still not signed with the board making a very strong squad,” mentioned WCL CEO Harshit Tomar.

Mitchell Starc who was purchased for a staggering Rs 24.75 crore by Kolkata Knight Riders, the costliest within the historical past of IPL public sale until date, has managed to take solely two wickets in three matches he has performed to this point this season placing the left arm pacer below strain to excel with the quantity he obtained. But Lee feels that strain is on each athlete who’s taking part in.

“I think everyone is under pressure. It depends on what you do. You are obviously under pressure to do your deadline and what you have to do with work. It is all relative to what you do. It is the same with WCL. We are going to go and play the best possible cricket and the best brand of cricket we possibly can because we showcase our talent and even though the guys are slightly older that competition and that camaraderie are still going to be there. We want to put on a spectacle to the crowd and the crowd is going to love it because they will know all the names and faces and that battle will still be there. Everyone is going to be under pressure but you have to enjoy and the reason why you are a professional athlete is because you are getting paid to be a professional athlete and do it to the best possibly you can,” mentioned Brett Lee.
