He has told in his interview that he was second in the house. He himself liked playing cricket but due to poor financial condition at home, he had to come to Delhi at the age of 18 to earn money. In this way cricket went away from him. But while living in Delhi, Mayank was born and he tried to fulfill his dream through a son.

When he was 4 years old, his father once took him for a walk in the park on a holiday. During this time, when he saw children playing cricket, he remembered his dream. Then he asked his son- 'Will you play cricket?' On this Mayank said- 'As per your wish'. In this way it was decided that he would play cricket. After this his father got him admitted in Gymkhana Cricket Club. Along with playing, Mayank's interest in fast bowling gradually increased and he became engrossed in it. At the age of 16, Mayank moved to Sonet Club, where coach Tarak Sinha played an important role in honing his talent.

No one wanted to teach cricket

Mayank's father revealed in an interview that when he was 16 years old and was looking for a good club, he visited many clubs in Delhi. But everyone refused to teach cricket to Mayank. However, he did not give up and kept trying. Then he came to know about Sonet Club of Delhi. Prabhu Yadav told that coach Tarak Sinha was known for being fair. So he went to him and when the trial took place, everyone present there was surprised to see Mayank's speed and line-length. He took the responsibility of honing his talent, but he was so impressed that he refused to take the coaching fees.

Mayank is a vegetarian, he is feared in Delhi

Whereas Vijay Dahiya, who brought him to IPL, was stunned to see him bowling in the nets of Vijay Hazare Trophy. He immediately sent an invitation to Lucknow Super Giants.
