Mayank Yadav was retained by LSG before IPL 2025 auction for INR 11 crores.
Pacer Mayank Yadav has reportedly recovered from his injuries and will soon be joining the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) squad for the IPL 2025 season. Mayank Yadav was at the CoE for a lumbar stress injury.
He was supposed to recuperate by the second week of April, but his toe injury pushed that date back even further. Langer had discussed Mayank's condition at the start of the season, revealing that the pacer damaged his toe while accidently kicking his bed.
Mayank, who has been out of the LSG squad since the start of the IPL 2025, is anticipated to rejoin the team on Tuesday, April 15.
Mayank was retained for Rs 11 crore despite playing only four games last season, and the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru has given him the green signal. India Today report stated that he is fit to play, but the final call will rest with the LSG coaching staff, who will be monitoring the player closely.
Mayank's comeback will be a significant boost for the team, which has performed admirably despite its limited resources. At the start of the season, LSG signed Shardul Thakur as a replacement player, and he has performed admirably thus far. Shardul, on the other hand, stepped in to replace left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan.
LSG are presently in fourth place in the league, having won four of their six matches. LSG will meet the Chennai Super Kings on Monday, April 12 at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium.
