LSG vs MI: Lucknow Super Giants’ promising fast bowler, Mayank Yadav, faced a setback in his IPL campaign as he was forced off the field due to abdominal soreness after bowling just one ball in his third over on Tuesday.
Mayank, who had shown impressive pace and accuracy earlier in the matches, raised concerns about his fitness after being sidelined again. LSG head coach Justin Langer indicated that Mayank may have aggravated a previous injury that had kept him out of action.
Despite the setback, the 21-year-old was spotted back on the field after the match, engaged in a conversation with fellow pacer Yash Thakur and Mumbai Indians’ veteran campaigner, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah, renowned for his resilience in overcoming injury setbacks, offered valuable insights to Mayank, earning praise from the IPL for his mentorship of emerging pacers.
Sharing visuals of the interaction, the Indian Premier League (IPL) wrote, “Who else but the purple-cap holder himself with some valuable advice for budding pacers.”
