India's latest fast-bowling sensation Mayank Yadav made his international debut in the first T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior on Sunday and immediately made an impact in the match with his pace.
Yadav struck in his second over, picking the wicket of former skipper Mahmudullah for 1 with a delivery which was clocked at 146.1 Kmph.
Mahmudullah tried to attack the debutant by stepping down the track but fell for Yadav's trap as he bowled one wide outside off-stump which the batter hit straight Washington Sundar at deep point.
Yadav's first over was a maiden which made him the third Indian after Ajit Agarkar and Arshdeep Singh to achieve the feat in T20I cricket.
