Ahead Of IPL 2025, LSG Star Mayank Yadav Gets Help From Mentor Zaheer Khan

Former Indian pacer and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor Zaheer Khan indicated that the franchise is in no mood to rush young pace sensation Mayank Yadav back into competitive cricket and is instead, putting effort and energy into making sure that he is a long-term option as a bowler without any breaks.
