IPL 2024, LSG vs MI: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) faced a tense moment in their ongoing clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League 2024 when fast bowler Mayank Yadav walked off the field due to injury.?This?came as?a?major?setback for LSG as Yadav had just returned to the playing 11 after a prolonged injury hiatus.
Yadav's injury occurred during the 19th over of the first innings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.?Despite producing a stellar delivery that dismissed Mumbai Indians' batter?Mohammad?Nabi, Yadav felt discomfort immediately?afterward?and had to leave the field.
The delivery that claimed Nabi's wicket was?a?thunderous?one, clocking in at 143.1?kilometers?per hour and landing on a hard length.?Nabi, attempting to heave the ball across the line, only managed to get an inside edge, which ricocheted off his thigh and onto the stumps. Yadav's pace proved too much for Nabi, who could only muster?1?run off?2?balls before departing.
Yadav's figures for the match stood at?1?wicket for 31 runs off 3.1 overs.?His return to the team was eagerly anticipated?after recovering from a previous side strain sustained during a game against Gujarat Titans. However, his comeback was marred by yet another injury, with Yadav visibly struggling with his pace?as well.
Despite Yadav's injury, Lucknow Super Giants managed a commendable bowling performance overall. Mohsin Khan claimed two wickets, while Marcus Stoinis, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mayank Yadav, and Ravi Bishnoi each took one wicket, collectively limiting Mumbai Indians to?a total of?144/7.
