Mayank Yadav, after his recent injury concern, may be out of the rest of the IPL 2024, according to a report in the Cricbuzz. The journey of Lucknow Super Giants pacer, who bowled a 156.6 kmph delivery in the IPL 2024, this year seems all but over after he sustained a suspected abdominal muscle "tear" during the game against Mumbai Indians, making it his second injury breakdown in past four weeks. Also, Chennai Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar may no longer take part in the IPL 2024 due to an injury. "Deepak injury is not looking good. I will not say he is ruled out of the season but doubtful," Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of Chennai Super Kings, said about Chahar, who pulled his hamstring.
Chahar bowled only two deliveries before walking out the the game against Punjab Kings at the Chepauk.
Also, the report added that there is "serious doubt" over the participation of Mayank for LSG in this season.
Earlier, a PTI report claimed that Mayank Yadav 'might just' be ablr to play if LSG reach playoffs.
"Mayank has a tear but it is more likely a grade 1 tear. It will be cutting it fine but in case LSG qualifies for the play-offs, he might just be able to play the knock-out games. But it is like hoping against hope and right now he is doubtful for the remaining IPL games," a BCCI source informed PTI on condition of anonymity.
Mayank, who burst into the scene with 155 click deliveries and back-to-back 'Player of the Match' awards at the start of the IPL, broke down in the third match and was ruled out for four weeks.
He made a comeback against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday after passing fitness tests but was forced back into the dugout after bowling 3.1 overs in which he gave away 31 runs.
Had Mayank been fit all this while, there was a possibility of him being a left-field selection in the T20 World Cup but right now, handling him with care is the primary job of the Indian cricket establishment.
