New Delhi: Fast bowler Mayank Yadav will no longer be able to play in the Indian Premier League due to an injury in the lower abdominal muscle. Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer gave this information on Saturday. Regarding Mayank’s fitness, Langer said, ‘We will pray that he can play. Hopefully in the playoffs but I am realistic and I don’t think he will be able to play the tournament.
This time in the IPL, Mayank, who bowled at a speed of 155, has taken seven wickets in four matches. But in two matches he could not even complete his quota of four overs. Langer said, ‘Mayank has been scanned. He got hurt at the same place where he was hurt earlier. This is unfortunate . He also spoke to Bumrah who explained to him that injuries are a part of a fast bowler’s career.
Mayank Yadav made a comeback this week
Mayank, who made his comeback against Mumbai Indians earlier this week (Lucknow had defeated Mumbai), had to leave the field early again. At that time Langer said, ‘It seems that he has got injured at the same place.’
Later, after the match, Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul said, ‘He was out due to a slight pain in the last match, it was not a complete muscle strain, but a mild pain. After the first ball of the fourth over against Mumbai Indians, he repeated the same thing, ‘It hurts a bit.’ So I said it would be better for him to go out and not take risks in the next five balls. He is still young and very important to us, so we have to take care of him.
