 IIE DIGITAL DESK : The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have received a major boost ahead of a crucial phase in the IPL 2025 season with the return of young pace sensation Mayank Yadav. The right-arm fast bowler, who had been sidelined due to injury, has rejoined the squad and is expected to be available for selection in the upcoming matches. His comeback adds significant depth to LSG's bowling unit, which has been striving for consistency in the ongoing tournament.

Mayank Yadav made headlines earlier in the season for consistently bowling at express pace, clocking speeds above 150 km/h and troubling top-order batters with his raw aggression and pinpoint accuracy. His performances had drawn widespread praise from cricket experts and fans alike before an untimely injury forced him out of action. His return now brings renewed hope for Lucknow as they push for a spot in the playoffs.

The team management is reportedly thrilled with Yadav's recovery and match fitness. He has undergone a structured rehabilitation program under the supervision of the team’s medical staff and fitness trainers. With his ability to bowl in the powerplay and at the death, Mayank’s inclusion could offer LSG the edge they need in tight contests.

Head coach Justin Langer has expressed confidence in the young pacer’s ability to make an immediate impact. With crucial fixtures lined up, the timing of Mayank Yadav’s return couldn’t be better for a team aiming to solidify its place in the top four.

Fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the playing XI, hopeful that his fiery spells will once again light up the IPL stage.
