IPL 2024: LSG pace sensation Mayank Yadav likely to return against CSK

Lucknow Super Giants continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 campaign against defending champions Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday, April 19. 

It is worth noting that LSG played their last two matches without star young pacer Mayank Yadav as the 21-year-old injured his hip against Gujarat Titans and missed the clashes against DC and KKR to recover. However, he could be available for the clash against CSK.

The side took to social media and shared a clip of Yadav bowling in the nets. “Phir se udd chala,” LSG captioned the post. With six wickets in three matches, Mayank looked sensational for Lucknow before his injury, and the franchise will hope that he can continue his string of performances in the upcoming game as well.
