On India's 156.7 Kmph Pacer Mayank Yadav's Injury, LSG Teammate Krunal Pandya's Big Update

Following his side's 33-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Krunal Pandya clarified that team's pace sensation Mayank Yadav "seemed okay" after he walked off the field during the match.
