Mayank Yadav’s career was marred by many injuries. He featured in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) while playing for Lucknow Super Giants. The pacer tormented the batsmen a lot during the tournament but was ruled out of the tournament due to an abdominal strain.
Mayank then underwent extensive rehabilitation and worked to regain match fitness at CoE (formerly NCA). But now I’m injured again. He has been included in India’s team plans for the 2026 T20 World Cup and the management will be keen to get him fit as soon as possible.
With the IPL retention deadline approaching on October 31, Mayank is a strong contender to be one of the five players retained by LSG, who acquired him for INR 20 lakh in the pre-2022 season auction. There have been reports that the franchise wants to keep him in the mix.
