NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants’ head coach, Justin Langer, is optimistic about young pace sensation Mayank Yadav‘s return to cricketing action for their upcoming match against Chennai Super Kings on April 19 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Mayank, a star bowler for the team, had to sit out due to soreness in the lower abdominal area during the match against Gujarat Titans.“He suffered a soreness in his lower abdominal area straight after bowling the first over against Gujarat Titans and that is why his speed dropped a bit.
“We had an MRI and the report confirmed his unavailability for the coming match against Delhi Capitals. Still, hopefully he will be available for Chennai’s match,” said Langer in the pre-match press conference in Lucknow.

In a match against Gujarat Titans, Mayank had to leave the field after bowling just one over. During that over, he seemed to be struggling with his pace and was hit for three boundaries, conceding a total of 13 runs.
However, coach Langer has confirmed the availability of Mohsin Khan for the upcoming match against the Delhi Capitals on Friday.
Mohsin, who was sidelined for the matches against RCB and was replaced by Yash Thakur, has already showcased his prowess by taking three wickets in the two matches he has played for LSG.
“He is fit and will be available for DC’s match. He has been training in the nets and practice sessions. He looks completely fit and bowling with good shape, he can be seen in action tomorrow,” he added.
LSG will face Delhi Capitals on Friday at Ekana Cricket Stadium.
