It has been an eventful season for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024. Unfortunately, their star pacer Mayank Yadav had to leave the field during their match against the Mumbai Indians on Tuesday due to abdominal soreness. Sources close to the team have revealed that Mayank's recovery may take longer than expected, which means he might miss the remaining league matches of the tournament.
Although his condition is not serious, the medical team has recommended a minimum of three weeks of rest for Mayank. This means he might not be able to participate in the remaining matches, which is a major setback for the franchise. The reports from his scans are yet to come, but the team is hopeful of securing his services for the majority of the tournament.
After the match against MI, head coach Justin Langer provided an update on Mayank's injury, saying that he seemed to be sore in the same spot. He also mentioned that Mayank's rehab had been perfect, and he had been bowling without any pain in the last few weeks. However, his condition worsened, and he had to undergo a scan to determine the extent of his injury.
Sources have revealed that Mayank was not fully fit before the match against MI, but he still returned to the playing eleven at the request of skipper KL Rahul. This shows the importance of Mayank's presence in the team and how he can make a difference on the field.
During Tuesday's match, the 21-year-old pacer struggled to find his rhythm and ended up bowling fuller deliveries. He conceded 31 runs in just 3.1 overs before finally taking the wicket of Mohammad Nabi. This was a significant contrast to his debut match against the Punjab Kings, where he impressed everyone with his raw pace and took three wickets with a top speed of 155.8 km/h.
The Lucknow Super Giants will play their last league match against the Mumbai Indians on May 17. It remains to be seen if Mayank will be able to recover in time to make a comeback for this crucial match. The team will certainly miss his explosive pace and talent on the field. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for Mayank and wish him all the best for the future.
