Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Akash Deep has joined the team. He can be seen playing against Mumbai Indians in the next match of IPL 2025. The match will be held on 4 April at Ikana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG’s bowling has looked a bit weak this season, and that is why the team included Shardul Thakur as his replacement after Mohsin Khan was injured.
LSG’s performance so far
LSG’s performance in this season has not been in accordance with expectations. The team has played three matches so far, out of which only one has won. LSG with two points currently remains in the sixth position in the points table. The team shared a video on social media, in which Akash Deep can be seen joining the team.
Akash Deep returned after recovering from injury
Akash Deep recently worked on his fitness. He was rehabiting Mumbai Indians star bowler Jaspreet Bumrah at Bangalore’s ‘Center of Excellence’ (first NCA). Last year, during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, he suffered a back injury in the fourth Test match played at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), after which he was away from cricket.
