Lucknow Super Giants have been compelled to make one change to their playing XI after successful the toss in opposition to Delhi Capitals in the twenty sixth IPL 2024 sport on Friday. Mayank Yadav missed out on LSG’s beginning eleven and was changed by the brand new singing Arshad Khan.
However, Mayank’s absence did not come as a shock because the rising Indian bowlers suffered an damage in the final sport in opposition to Gujarat Titans. Mayank walked again to the dressing room after bowling only one over in opposition to Gujarat and the franchise later confirmed a sore hip to the speedster.
“We will bat first,” KL Rahul mentioned. “I don’t have an answer to that (good record batting first.) We want to start fresh, looks like a good wicket. I don’t think dew is going to play a part. It (new pitch) has made a huge difference. You can bowl well, bat well, express yourselves, the boundaries are big and the bowlers enjoy playing here. The batters are enjoying batting as well. The three games we have played here have been packed. Arshad Khan comes in for Mayank Yadav.”
Mayank, the 21-year-old right-arm pacer, took the IPL 2024 by storm having persistently bowled fiery spells in his breakthrough season. He picked six wickets in his first two innings to clinch back-to-back Player of the Match awards. He is anticipated to overlook LSG’s subsequent two video games and is prone to return to the CSK sport on April 19.Â
“He felt a little bit of tightness at the top of his hip leading into the last game, but that was about a one-out-of-ten pain, and we thought that there were clinical signs,” LSG head coach Justin Langer mentioned on Thursday. “Everything through the doctors and the physios seemed perfectly okay. He bowled that first over (against Gujarat Titans) and started feeling something in his hip. But we had an MRI scan, and there is a very, very small swelling in there. So we are very hopeful he’ll start building himself up and be back bowling again soon.”
Lucknow Super Giants playing XI: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Arshad Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Yash Thakur.
Lucknow Super Giants Impact Subs: Krishnappa Gowtham, Deepak Hooda, Manimaran Siddharth, Amit Mishra, Matt Henry.
