IPL 2024: Injured Mayank Yadav likely to miss LSG's next match on April 12

Young pace sensation Mayank Yadav in all likelihood will miss Lucknow Super Giants next IPL match against Delhi Capitals at home on April 12 because of an abdominal niggle which will require monitoring over the week, the franchise's CEO stated on Monday. Mayank suffered the niggle during LSG's 33-run win over Gujarat Titans at Lucknow on Sunday night.

We hope to see him soon on the field, said Vinod Bisht, the CEO of the Super Giants in a statement.
