Injury Strikes India’s IPL Sensation Mayank Yadav with Bad News: LSG CEO Cautious on the Matter

Mayank suffered a lower abdominal injury during LSG’s (Lucknow Super Giants) 33-run win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday night. The CEO of LSG, Vinod Bisht, confirmed that Mayank felt soreness in the lower abdominal area and will have his workload managed over the next week as a precaution. This indicates he may not be able to play in LSG’s upcoming weekend game against Kolkata Knight Riders.

The severity of Mayank’s injury is uncertain, as lower abdominal injuries for fast bowlers usually require more time to heal. During the previous match, Mayank walked off the field after bowling just one over and struggled to reach his usual pace. This led to his absence for the rest of the night and concerns about the nature of his injury.

Krunal, a teammate of Mayank, expressed optimism about his recovery, praising his potential as a fast bowler and his ability to learn from experienced players like Jasprit Bumrah. Mayank’s injury history includes missing the entire Ranji Trophy tournament in the previous season due to a side strain. He has only played one first-class game in the last two seasons resulting from this injury.

Despite the setbacks, there is confidence in Mayank’s potential to excel as a fast bowler, with cricket personalities like Brian Lara acknowledging his talent and potential for growth.
