“Mayank is eager to go. Important that he gets it out of his head that he had an injury,” KL Rahul confirmed the return of India’s newest pace sensation, Mayank Yadav, when Lucknow Super Giants squared off against five-time winners Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League season 2024 on Tuesday. LSG’s tearaway pacer Yadav made his comeback to the Lucknow Super Giants playing XI after missing a few crucial games in the IPL 2024 due to a lower abdominal strain.
Mayank opened his account by dismissing MI’s Mohammad Nabi in his fourth over. Reintroduced into the attack by Rahul in the 18th over, pace ace Mayank cleaned up Nabi on the first ball. However, Mayank picked up a suspected injury as the premier pacer walked off the field following Nabi’s dismissal. LSG fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq completed the over after Mayank left the field.
