Mayank Yadav Cleared for Lucknow Super Giants Return Against Mumbai Indians

Mayank Yadav Returns to Fitness, Set to Boost Lucknow Super Giants Against Mumbai Indians

Lucknow Super Giants have received a major boost ahead of their crucial clash against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, with young pace sensation Mayank Yadav passing all fitness tests and being declared available for selection.

Yadav, who suffered a soreness in the lower abdominal area during the match against Gujarat Titans, has been sidelined for the past few games. However, the 21-year-old has now recovered and is eager to make his return to the field.

"Regarding Mayank Yadav, he has passed all the fitness tests and is in the probable XII for the match against Mumbai Indians. He is looking good and is ready to bowl again," confirmed LSG bowling coach Morne Morkel in the pre-match press conference.

Yadav's return is a timely one for Lucknow, who have struggled with their bowling in recent matches. The pacer has been one of the team's most impressive performers this season, claiming six wickets in just three appearances.

His ability to generate pace and swing the ball will be a valuable asset against a strong Mumbai Indians batting lineup. Yadav's return will also provide some much-needed depth to the LSG bowling attack, which has been heavily reliant on Avesh Khan and Dushmantha Chameera.

With Yadav back in the mix, Lucknow will be confident of putting up a strong performance against Mumbai Indians and continuing their push for a playoff spot. The match will be played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday.
