Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer has confirmed that fast bowler Mayank Yadav will miss the first half of the IPL 2025 season due to a lumbar stress injury. Yadav, known for consistently bowling at speeds exceeding 150 km/h, had been retained by LSG for ₹11 crore after an impressive debut in IPL 2024. His injury woes began post his T20I debut against Bangladesh in October 2024, leading to multiple setbacks. Currently undergoing rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, Yadav has resumed bowling but lacks a definitive return date. Langer expressed hope for Yadav's participation in the latter half of the tournament, emphasizing the team's cautious approach to his recovery. (PC: Sportskeeda)
