Delhi: There are only a few days left for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Before this, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has suffered a major setback. The team’s fast bowler Mayank Yadav will not be able to play in the first 5-6 matches.
When can Mayank return?
The LSG team management hopes that Mayank will soon join the team. He is waiting for fitness clearance from Bangalore’s Center of Excellence. It is believed that he can join the team from 11-12 April.
A source said, “Mayank is bowling well in the nets and is seen fit. Now the bus center of excellence is waiting for the green signal. We sincerely hope that he will soon be with the team. “
Which matches will be missed?
| No. | date | Match | Status |
|---|
| 1 | 24 March | DC vs LSG (Visakhapatnam) | Will miss |
| 2 | 27 March | Srh vs lsg | Will miss |
| 3 | 1 April | Lsg vs pbks | Will miss |
| 4 | 4 April | Lsg vs mi | Will miss |
| 5 | 6 April | Kkr vs lsg | Will miss |
| 6 | 12 April | Lsg vs gt | Play suspect |
| 7 | 14 April | Lsg vs csk | Potential return |
There is doubt about his playing in the match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on 12 April, but he can return to the team against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on 14 April.
Headache for LSG
Apart from Mayank, the availability of other LSG fast bowlers Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan is also not clear. This is the reason that unusual players Shardul Thakur and Shivam Mavi have been seen bowling in the team’s nets.
At present, the team has two major fast bowlers Shamar Joseph and Akash Deep. Mitchell Marsh cannot bowl, which has increased the trouble of the team. In such a situation, LSG may have to try some less experienced players.
Trust in spin department
LSG can rely more on spinners on her home grounds. The team has good spinners like Ravi Bishnoi, Shahbaz Ahmed and Manimaran Siddharth. At the same time, batsman Eden Markram can also take advantage of spin -friendly pitches.
Now it will be interesting to see how LSG balances its fast bowling department and how it performs in the upcoming matches.
