Father's 'Govardhan Parikrama' in Mathura pays off as Mayank Yadav makes a fiery return
Mayank Yadav returned from a two-year injury layoff with 2 for 18 against Zimbabwe in the first T20I.
The Delhi pacer clocked 149 kph and dismissed Brian Bennett with his first ball in Harare.
Yadav's father Prabhu performed the Govardhan Parikrama in Mathura praying for his son's fitness during the match.
Yadav had been sidelined for over a year due to a stress fracture after impressing in IPL 2024.
The BCCI continued to support Yadav through his injury recovery.
