Mayank Yadav, a rising star in Indian cricket, is all set to showcase his lightning-fast deliveries against Bangladesh. Known for his fiery pace, Mayank earned a spot in Team India after impressing in the IPL. His journey to the national team, however, wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of his mentor, Parvinder Awana—a former India cricketer and current Income Tax Inspector.
Parvinder Awana, who himself represented India in T20 internationals in 2012, played a crucial role in shaping Mayank’s career. Awana has been mentoring the young pacer since his early days, helping him hone his skills and build the mental toughness required for international cricket. The hard work has paid off as Mayank Yadav gears up for his first international assignment.
Parvinder Awana’s Take on Mayank’s India Call-Up
In a recent interview with Cricket.com, Parvinder Awana shared his excitement about Mayank’s selection in the Indian squad. “I’m thrilled to see him make his debut. I met him at the NCA a month ago, and he told me that he’s in good shape, working hard on his bowling. His improvement has been incredible,” Awana remarked.
Having watched Mayank grow since childhood, Awana noted that the young bowler’s physical and mental development has been remarkable. “He has worked a lot on his fitness and now understands his body better. I have no doubt that he will deliver strong performances for India,” Awana said with confidence.
Awana’s Own Journey in Cricket
Parvinder Awana, now an Income Tax Inspector, played two T20 matches for India back in 2012. Though his international career was brief, Awana made his mark in domestic cricket and the IPL, representing Punjab Kings. In a total of 38 matches across the IPL and Champions League, Awana took 48 wickets. His experience in the fast-bowling department made him the perfect mentor for a talent like Mayank Yadav.
