Is Mayank Yadav playing today's SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 match? Check LSG playing XI

From constantly talking to his bowlers to maneuvering the field, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant tried his best to help his team win their first game of IPL 2025 against Delhi Capitals on Monday. After being put into bat first, LSG put up a solid total of 209 runs on the board. However, Delhi Capitals still managed to chase it down, winning the game on the last ball with just one wicket left. Of the six bowlers that LSG used that day, two were playing their first IPL game, while for Manimaran Siddharth, it was only his fourth outing.

LSG had no option but to rely on youngsters, as most of their fast bowlers are currently recovering from injuries. Mohsin Khan was, earlier, ruled out of IPL 2025, while the likes of Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, and Mayank Yadav are nursing their respective injuries.

Mayank Yadav to play today's LSG vs SRH IPL 2025 match?

Mayank Yadav brought excitement to the cricketing world when he announced his arrival in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year. The youngster impressed with his ability to bowl consistently at 150+ kmph. However, he was sidelined after playing just four games due to injury. Ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, LSG retained him for INR 11 crore despite his injury concerns. Reports suggested that he was recovering well from a back injury, but before the season began, he suffered a toe infection.

Recently, Mayank took to social media to share an update with fans. He posted a video of himself training, with the caption: “Soon.”

The 22-year-old is progressing well but is unlikely to be available for LSG’s upcoming game. Head coach Justin Langer had earlier stated that they hope Mayank will be fit by the latter half of the tournament. However, he did not specify a return date.
