Mayank Yadav was surrounded by much buzz when he showed exactly why the Lucknow Super Giants waited eagerly for his return at IPL 2025. But as far as Mumbai Indians' batter Naman Dhir goes, this Indian pacer was just another bowler to face. Mayank returned after a long six months on injury straight back into action with the Lucknow Super Giants, who faced the Mumbai Indians on the Wankhede Stadium pitch in Mumbai on Sunday, April 27. The return of Mayank did not match the brightness of the hype. He's incredibly well-known for his express pace and sharp accuracy, and the speedster had something lacking this time around. Yet, in 4 overs, he still picked up 2 wickets for 40 runs. On facing Mayank, Dhir said he did not prepare anything special. The MI batter was also very clear that he watched some bowling videos by Mayank but counted him as just another bowler. Naman Dhir said at the post-match press conference: “It's nothing special. He is bowling, I am batting; it's nothing special. It's another bowler to face for me. I won't say I prepared much against him. Yes, I watched his videos of what he will bowl and what shots I can play, but I would say it's another bowler for me to face.” The ESPNcricinfo report quotes about the comeback match, where Mayank sent down his fastest delivery of 142.7 kph, which he said used to feel slow. After being hit for two sixes by Rohit Sharma, he outsmarted the veteran with a wide slower ball. Mayank was hit for some runs early, but he came back strongly to dismiss Hardik Pandya in the 16th over. Then he bowled tightly against Suryakumar Yadav and Dhir by mixing his slower deliveries with skill on the slow pitch. The Wankhede surface, Dhir noted, was still a bit slow, but he praised the MI top-order for laying a solid start. He said Mumbai has been winning the crucial moments in the last five matches, and if they keep doing that, they'll keep climbing.

Naman (25 off 11) and Corbin Bosch (20 off 10) finished strong against LSG's bowling attack. Dhir added: “I would say the pitch was still on the slower side, but the top-order batters batted very well. They gave us a very good start. The pitch was still on the slower side, I would say. I guess, yes, from the past five games, we are ticking the boxes, and we are winning the moments that are leading us to the win. And I guess if we continue doing that, we will move upwards as well. It's like, it's nothing special.”
