Rishabh Pant got a massive boost as pace sensation Mayank Yadav is set to make a return for Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing IPL 2025 after getting a clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The Delhi pacer, who has been under rehabilitation at the NCA since October last year, due to a lumbar stress injury.
The 22-year-old was earlier scheduled to recover by the second week of April but it was further delayed after LSG coach Justin Langer informed that the pacer injured his toe by accidentally kicking his bed. According to My Khel, Mayank Yadav is likely to play against Rajasthan Royals on April 19 in Jaipur.
“He is fighting fit and should be raring to go now,” a source was quoted as saying to the website.
