Speaking on the eve of his facet’s conflict in opposition to Kolkata Knight Riders, Langer stated Mayank suffered a muscle tear throughout his facet’s final sport in opposition to Mumbai Indians.
The right-arm fast, who had suffered an identical harm earlier within the season, failed to full his 4 overs throughout the win over MI. “He [Mayank] just had a scan and got a small tear in a similar area to his last injury. It is very unfortunate. He had his rehabilitation and went into the [Mumbai Indians] game completely pain-free,” stated Langer.
“We will be praying that he can play in the playoff. But I am a realist. It will probably be difficult for him to return for the back-end of the tournament.”
The 21-year-old Mayank had a storming begin to the season as he garnered the cricket world’s consideration for his blistering tempo earlier than he was struck down with accidents.
“In my experience, every young fast bowler, probably until they get to 25 or 26, is going to experience such different injuries,” added Langer.
