LSG skipper K L Rahul expressed immense satisfaction for a cricketer who has demonstrated exceptional temperament to complement his explosive pace.
Following an impressive display of pace bowling on his IPL debut, the 21-year-old delivered a similar performance against RCB batters, securing his second consecutive three-wicket haul.
Despite facing challenges while keeping to Mayank, Rahul remains unfazed and continues to support his teammate without complaint.
βOne ball hit me really hard, so happy to see Mayank bowl the way he's been bowling. He's waited patiently for a year, he's working really hard, he's really professional, has a great temperament,β said Rahul at the post-match presentation. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis also gave due credit to Mayank.
βIt is the new action you haven't faced before, and if they have pace then you need time to get used to it. But his ability to control length and have accuracy is impressive.Β You need two guys to bat through and get a partnership which we were not able to do. We need the strong characters in the dressing room to put their hand up,β said du Plessis after RCBβs third loss in four games.
