"Looks like he is sore in the same spot," LSG head coach Justin Langer said of Mayank after the game. "His rehab has been perfect, he bowled pain-free in the last week and looked in great condition. But we'll have a scan and find out tomorrow."

In his first two IPL matches, against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Mayank had bagged the Player-of-the-Match awards with three-fors in both games when he went past the 150kmh-mark regularly and surprised with his speed on the big stage, especially without much experience in domestic cricket. Mayank had played just one first-class match, 17 List A matches and 10 T20s before making his IPL debut.

On Tuesday, Mayank had bowled his first three overs - while cranking up the pace - for 31 runs before he was given the 19th over. His first ball went through Mohammad Nabi to crash into the stumps but the fast bowler then went off the field, for his over to be completed by Naveen-ul-Haq. Mayank did not look in a visible discomfort when he went off and was later subbed out as the Impact Player at the innings break for Arshin Kulkarni.

Mayank started his day in dramatic fashion when he came on after the powerplay and his first delivery, at 144.1kmh, struck Nehal Wadhera in the helmet after taking off from a short length. He also went past the 150kmh mark later in the over but largely bowled in the 140-147kmh range and pitched most of his deliveries in the short or short-of-good-length area.
