[Saba Sports News] Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fans can breathe a sigh of relief as all-rounder Krunal Pandya offered positive news about young pacer Mayank Yadav’s injury. Yadav left the field clutching his side during LSG’s win against the Gujarat Titans after bowling just one over.
“I don’t know what exactly happened to Mayank Yadav, but I had a couple of seconds with him. So, I think he is okay to continue in future matches. That is positive news for us,” Pandya said as quoted.
Yadav’s absence would have been a major setback for LSG’s bowling attack. The youngster has been turning heads with his raw pace, consistently exceeding the 150 kmph mark. Pandya, who has likely witnessed Yadav’s training sessions, spoke highly of the pacer’s potential.
“He was bowling well in the nets earlier and last season before missing the tournament due to an injury. Whatever conversation I have had, whatever we see, he has a good head on his shoulder. Really excited to see how his career pans out, Pandya added.
While Pandya’s comments are encouraging, an official update from the LSG management regarding the extent of Yadav’s injury and his recovery timeline is still awaited. However, Pandya’s words suggest that Yadav might be available for LSG’s next clash against the Delhi Capitals on April 12.
