Injury Concerns Ahead of IPL 2025 Opener
With just a week left for the opening match of IPL 2025 on March 22, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are facing a major setback due to fitness issues in their pace department. Their three key fast bowlers—Mayank Yadav, Avesh Khan, and Mohsin Khan—are struggling with injuries, raising concerns for the team management.
Mayank Yadav’s Fitness Woes
Mayank Yadav has been out of action since October 2024 after sustaining a back strain during India’s T20I series against Bangladesh. His availability for the upcoming matches remains uncertain.
Avesh and Mohsin Also Under Scrutiny
Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan are also dealing with fitness concerns, making LSG’s pace attack vulnerable ahead of the season. With a combined price tag of ₹24.75 crore, the trio’s injuries could significantly impact the team’s bowling strength.
Team’s Strategy and Possible Replacements
LSG management is closely monitoring the players’ recovery and may need to look for backup options if they fail to regain full fitness before the tournament begins.
