Mayank Yadav, the young fast bowler, missed the last two matches for the Lucknow Super Giants due to a side strain. However, he returned to training on Wednesday, which is great news for LSG. The team shared a video on their social media platform, X, showing Mayank bowling at full speed and receiving guidance from head coach Justin Langer, who watched closely. Mayank made a splash during his IPL debut by consistently bowling at speeds over 150 km/h. He had to leave the field after bowling just one over against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday.

The right-arm pacer had earned consecutive Player of the Match awards for his impressive performances of 3/27 and 3/14 against the Punjab Kings and RCB, respectively. If Mayank regains full fitness, he is expected to return in LSG's next match against the Chennai Super Kings on Friday in Lucknow. LSG's captain, Rahul, provided an update on Yadav after the match against KKR. Rahul noted that Mayank's fast pace has challenged many batters in IPL 2024. "Mayank isn't doing too badly; he's looking good and feeling good, but we also want to be cautious not to rush him back too soon," Rahul said. "He's young, and we need to protect his body. He's eager to play, but we need to hold him back a bit, maybe a couple more games, before he returns," Rahul added.
