IPL 2025: Fit-again Mayank Yadav Joins LSG Squad, Likely to Play Against RR

In a major boost for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), speedster Mayank Yadav has rejoined the squad ahead of their upcoming clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2025. After being sidelined due to a side strain earlier in the tournament, the 22-year-old pacer has now recovered and is likely to feature in the high-octane match.

Mayank, who burst onto the scene with his blistering pace and sharp accuracy in the early matches of IPL 2025, had made headlines by consistently clocking speeds above 150 kmph. His early performances were instrumental in giving LSG early breakthroughs, and his absence in the last few games was clearly felt as the team struggled to contain opposition batters in the powerplay.

LSG’s team management confirmed on Tuesday that Mayank had successfully completed his rehabilitation and training sessions under the supervision of the medical staff and is match-fit. While an official announcement on his inclusion in the playing XI is yet to be made, sources within the franchise indicate he is “very likely” to start against RR.
