With the return of pace sensation Mayank Yadav, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have received a massive boost ahead of their crucial IPL 2025 clash against the Rajasthan Royals on April 19. The young speedster had missed the initial phase of the tournament due to toe and back injuries. However, the National Cricket Academy (NCA) has now confirmed his full recovery, clearing him to rejoin the squad at a pivotal point in the season.
Mayank’s comeback is expected to strengthen LSG’s fast bowling unit, which has struggled for consistency in his absence. Known for his express pace and wicket-taking ability, the 21-year-old had already made a mark in his brief IPL career before injury setbacks derailed his momentum. According to reports, his rehab has been completed successfully, and sources from the NCA described him as “fighting fit” and ready to make an impact.
As the tournament heads into a critical phase, LSG will be counting on Mayank’s return to revive their bowling attack and improve their chances of reaching the playoffs. With the Rajasthan Royals in strong form, Mayank’s pace could prove to be a game-changer. His inclusion provides LSG both depth and firepower, making the upcoming clash a high-stakes battle for both teams.
