Mayank Yadav to miss first half of IPL: Reports
Lucknow Super Giants’ star bowler, Mayank Yadav, will be sidelined for the first half of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to an injury. As per a report in ESPNcricinfo, Mayank is yet to fully recover from a lumbar stress injury and will unfortunately be missing the opening stages of the tournament, dealing a significant blow to the Giants’ bowling attack. Mayank sustained a back injury during his T20I debut series against Bangladesh last year.
Following the injury, he underwent rehabilitation and has recently resumed bowling at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. There is no fixed date yet as to when he will be back in action but if he meets all the fitness guidelines, he could make his comeback in the latter half of the IPL.
LSG had retained Mayank for INR 11 crore ahead of the mega auction and his unavailability presents a significant challenge ahead of the IPL 2025. Even, his campaign at the IPL 2024 was only limited to four matches due to a side strain.
Earlier this year, Zaheer Khan, who was appointed LSG's team director, had said that the franchise was working with BCCI’s medical team on Mayank’s recovery.
"As much as we are keen on having him [play IPL 2025], we want him 150% fit not just 100% fit so we'll do everything possible to get him there," Zaheer had said.
