Mayank Yadav Injury Update, LSG vs CSK IPL 2024: In the 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), led by KL Rahul, will square off against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at their home ground, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, on April 19 (Friday). LSG have plenty to contemplate, including concerns surrounding their pace sensation Mayank Yadav who suffered a side strain during their game against Gujarat Titans and as a result, has been sidelined from the competition ever since.

Mayank Yadav has emerged as a standout performer for LSG in the IPL 2024 season, delivering a sensational match-winning performance on his debut. He showcased his talent by bowling the fastest delivery of the IPL 2024, clocking in at 156.7 kmph, and followed it up with another impressive three-wicket haul that led his team to victory against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
