In an interview with The Indian Express, Mayank Markande reflects on his time with Mumbai Indians, playing for India, and how Ranji Trophy helped him in his resurgence.

Mayank Markande, the leg-spinner who played for India in the 2019 T20I series against Australia, opened up about his tough phase with the Mumbai Indians in an interaction with The Indian Express. Markande revealed that he was confused when he did not get ample opportunities for MI after playing for India. However, he credited his resurgence to the Ranji Trophy and Punjab skipper Mandeep Singh and his childhood coach Bali.

SRH will be eyeing a quick turn-around against CSK on 21st April (Friday) after losing to Mumbai Indians (MI) by 14 runs. SRH’s main problem is their weak middle-order, which is overly dependent on Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi. In contrast, CSK is in red-hot form, with their inexperienced pace attack proving to be dangerous, as the likes of Tushar Deshpande and Akash Singh held their nerve in crunch moments of the game.

Mayank Markande had a great season with MI, playing for India and then sitting on the bench waiting for opportunities, which was a new experience for him. He said it was a tough phase and he tried to learn as much as he could. He finished the season on a positive note and is excited to play for his new team. Markande emphasized that the Ranji Trophy played a crucial role in his resurgence, teaching him the value of patience and helping him bowl on different surfaces, particularly the challenging flat ones.

Markande gave credit to Punjab skipper Mandeep Singh and his childhood coach Bali for supporting him during his tough phase. He stated that Mandeep gave him confidence, backed him up, and spoke to him regularly, while Bali motivated him and analyzed his bowling videos, providing feedback. Markande concluded by saying that he played everything in one year (2018-19), which was a rollercoaster, but when he hit rock bottom, he was still very young, and the support from Mandeep and Bali helped him bounce back.
