During IPL 2024, Mayank Yadav, the bowler for Lucknow Super Giants, garnered widespread attention with his exceptional bowling skills. However, he was sidelined from the match against GT due to a niggle and remained absent from subsequent matches. Fortunately, LSG fans have reason to rejoice as the pace sensation, Mayank Yadav, has now made a full recovery and has returned to bowling with full force, signaling a positive development for the team and its supporters.
Mayank Yadav’s Comeback:
Mayank sustained an injury during the victorious encounter against GT, sidelining him for subsequent matches against DC and KKR. His absence proved consequential for Lucknow, as they faced defeats in both matches. The absence of the Indian pacer was deeply felt by the team, highlighting his importance to the squad. However, with his return to fitness, there is optimism for improved performances in upcoming fixtures.
During the injury days of Mayank, LSG head coach Justin Langer said, “But we had an MRI scan, and there is a very, very small swelling in there. So we are very hopeful he’ll start building himself up and be back bowling again soon.”
LSG recently released a video showcasing Mayank’s return to training. The Indian pacer was observed bowling under the supervision of head coach Justin Langer, displaying no signs of the previous injury. Mayank had encountered a hip injury, prompting LSG to adopt a cautious approach by regulating his workload. This strategic decision aimed to safeguard the young talent’s long-term fitness and ensure his seamless reintegration into the team.
