The situation of Mayank Yadav and Akashdeep
Before the match against DC, LSG head coach Justin Langer had updated about the injury of Mayank Yadav and Akashdeep.
Talking about Mayank, he said, “He was returning to the magnificent form, but unfortunately he hit his leg, causing infection in the finger. This has made his recovery a bit longer. Hopefully he will be available in the final stages of the tournament.”
At the same time, Langer said about Akashdeep, “Akashdeep is about 90% fit and he has also passed the Yo-Yo test. He is doing fast recovery.”
