Mavi was the pick of the Indian speedsters in the U19 World Cup

Throughout the history of Indian cricket, not many bowlers have managed to bowl in excess of 140kmph consistently. The bitter truth is that they either struggle to remain injury-free or they find it hard to maintain their consistency.

However, Mavi along with his new-ball partner Kamlesh Nagarkoti, surprised everyone with their fierce pace and ability to maintain a tight length and line. Mavi's economy in the tournament was 4.12 and impressively picked up 9 wickets.

His control on swinging the ball at high speeds gave him the edge over many other bowlers in the tournament. The speedster needs a bit of nurturing on maintaining his discipline and with continued inputs, he can be 'one for the future'.
