In the 19th over, Mayank Yadav claimed the lone wicket of Muhammad Nabi.
Numerous injury worries have already dogged the highly anticipated Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) faced the Mumbai Indians (MI) in game 48 of the ongoing cricket carnival, and in Lucknow, they were plagued by yet another injury scare. For the second time, the new pace wonder Mayank Yadav has attracted criticism for his mind-boggling pace.
The event took place during MI’s batting innings in the penultimate over. After bowling the first delivery of the 19th over, the bowler removed Muhammad Nabi. He then began to leave the field by foot. Interestingly, Yadav has already missed five IPL 2024 games due to a side strain issue.
It will take time to determine whether his injury has returned or was really a minor ache. However, KL Rahul, the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, stated earlier today that he encouraged the medical staff to do everything in their power to prepare Mayank Yadav for the match against the Mumbai Indians. But now that the tournament’s business end is drawing near, it appears like the move backfired, and his potential absence would further hamper Lucknow’s chances when it matters most.
