LSG's Young Gun Mayank Yadav Eager to Return Despite Injury

The LSG pacer Mayank Yadav smashed his IPL start with a string of consecutive 3-wicket hauls. Mayank's lightweight frame, combined with his precise control and playing strokes must have surely convinced both the players' fans as well as the experts that he deserves to be on the selection list of the Indian cricket team for an upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Nonetheless, the series of his impressive performances in the tournament was unexpectedly held back by the injury he picked during the match against the Gujarat Titans.

KL Rahul Statement:

Mayank is also all right, I think.; He looks good and feels good too. However, we don't want to rush him and take him back immediately. He is young, so the damage to his body is inevitable. He's dying to go, we just have to hold him down, maybe he'll come back in after two or three matches.

Langer said, "He had the smallest amount of pain at the top of his hip and that was something like 10 percent pain. Nevertheless, it was a very clinical matter".

Everything through the doctors and the physios seemed perfectly okay. He bowled that first over (against the Titans) and started feeling something in his hip. But we had an MRI scan, and there is a very, very small swelling in there. So we are very hopeful he'll start building himself up and be back bowling again soon," added the former Australian opener.
