This comes as a significant blow for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of IPL 2025.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Mayank Yadav is set to miss the first half of the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) 2025 season. According to ESPNCricinfo, Mayank is continuing his recovery from a lumbar stress injury. He has begun bowling once again at Bengaluru’s BCCI Centre of Excellence.
In IPL 2024, Mayank had taken seven wickets from four matches before an injury ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
While the BCCI has not set a possible return date for Mayank, the Delhi-born speedster could make his comeback in the second half of IPL 2025 if he clears the relevant fitness parameters and develops his bowling workload. Lucknow Super Giants retained the pacer for INR 11 crore ahead of the mega auction.
Mayank Yadav stood out in IPL 2024 due to his ability to bowl at speeds of more than 150 kph. He won Player of the Match awards in his first two IPL matches last year. Midway through IPL 2024, Mayank sustained a side strain and was eventually ruled out. He sustained another injury during rehabilitation, because of which his competitive return was further delayed.

The 22-year-old made his senior India debut in a T20I against Bangladesh in October last year. He was quite impressive in that game in Gwalior, registering figures of 1/21 from four overs. Mayank picked up four wickets from the three T20Is against Bangladesh.
However, a back injury ruled him out of an away T20I series against South Africa in December and a home series against England in January this year.
