KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants are taking on Ruturaj Gaikwad's Chennai Super Kings in match 35 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, on April 19 (Friday). LSG's rising young pacer Mayank Yadav has now been out for his straight third IPL 2024 match. Fans are extremely disappointed with Mayank's absence from Lucknow's playing XI.
Fans react to Mayank Yadav's absence
The young pace sensation Mayank Yadav became the topic of discussion after one of his deliveries touched 156.7 kmph in the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, after playing three matches, the 21-year-old was forced to sit out of three straight games including the clash against CSK due to a niggle.
LSG recently posted a clip of him showing how well he has recovered and is back to practice. However, It appears as if the franchise is not trying to take any risk with him and giving him all the possible and necessary rest. Mayank has 6 wickets in 3 matches and notably, he only bowled one over in the match against GT before leaving the ground.
Mayank has gained a massive fan following in a short time and many big names from the cricket fraternity even talked about fast-tracking him to the national side for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. Hopefully, the pacer will be fit to return for LSG's next game and entertain fans across the globe with this lethal pace.
