Ex-India opener Aakash Chopra said teams in the IPL must be eyeing LSG fast bowler Mayank Yadav. "He can be retained for ₹4 crore if he doesn't become a capped Indian," the 47-year-old added. Aakash further stated Team India should play Mayank in the T20I series against Bangladesh, adding, "You don't pick a sword to keep it in a sheath."
