Subsequently, Maynank’s coaches, Munish Bali and Sodhi, advised Mayank to bowl leg-spin instead of fast bowling. According to his coach, Bali, Mayank’s physique wasn’t up to the level of a fast-bowler, so he asked him to start spin bowling.

This change turned out to be an excellent decision, and so far, it works well for him.

Then, his consistently excellent performances at the junior level cricket got him selected in the under-16s state team of Punjab. And later, he played for Punjab and India’s under-19s squad.
