Mayank Yadav was ruled out of IPL 2025 due to reoccurrence of his back injury.
Indian and Lucknow Super Giants pacer Mayank Yadav is all set to travel to New Zealand in the next few days. This might be to consult a medical professional for his recurring back injury and possibly undergo back surgery to correct the issue.
About two weeks ago, Mayank Yadav, who had made his cricketing return to the IPL 2025 for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), was ruled out of the tournament due to the recurrence of his back issues.
Yadav had already spent 3-4 months out of action since making his India debut in December 2024 against Bangladesh, when he had suffered a back injury.
Mayank had grabbed spotlights after his record-breaking 156.7 Kmph delivery during IPL 2024. After missing the first half of the season, he played just 2 games for LSG before being ruled out once again.
Then, the Times of India had reported that LSG ignored his 'back swelling' and rushed him back after the initial injury. The report further stated the Centre of Excellence (CoE) and the franchise did not follow due procedure while handling the pacer's injury and were merely 'ticking boxes' in his case.
And now, as per RevSportz, the speedster is poised to take the Jasprit Bumrah route. Bumrah sought advice and was operated on by doctors in New Zealand. Even after Bumrah was hurt in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy's last Test match in Sydney, his findings were transmitted to the same doctors in New Zealand.
