The franchise shared a video on their social media handle X showcasing Mayank delivering his bowling with full force, all while receiving guidance from head coach

Mayank, who became an overnight sensation by consistently bowling at 150kmph plus on his IPL debut, had gone off the field after bowling just one over against Gujarat Titans on Sunday.
The right-arm pacer earned back-to-back Player of the match awards for his match-winning hauls of 3/27 and 3/14 against Punjab Kings and RCB respectively.
