Mayank Yadav made an impressive debut for India in the first T20I against Bangladesh, becoming only the third Indian seamer to deliver a maiden over in his first international match. He took 1/21 in his four overs, including the wicket of Mahmudullah, and was fast-tracked into the team after a successful but injury-shortened IPL season. His debut was marked by a presentation ceremony where former cricketer Murali Kartik handed him his maiden cap. Fellow debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy also contributed to India's commanding seven-wicket victory. Both debutants praised Suryakumar Yadav's captaincy for helping them manage nerves and perform well. The match highlighted Mayank's potential as a future star for India, with his pace and precision drawing comparisons to past Indian bowling greats.
