How important is Mayan’s return to attack Bowling Super Giants?
While the BCCI medical team has received everything clear, 22-year-old will be thoroughly evaluated by LSG Head Physio Ashish Kaushik.
With the history of injury problems – up to five stress fractures in the last two years – the LSG camp will work with caution when it comes to Mayank.

Even in the IPL 2024, he played only four games and was excluded for the rest of the season due to the secondary tension.
LSG had many injuries that he could deal with before the season started.
Akash Deep and Avesh Khan joined the side late. Mohsin Khan was expelled from the season, and the unit led in Rishabhu had no choice but to convene Sharduula Thakura as a replacement.
This season, Thakur is now leading PACE and Mayank’s presence will certainly strengthen the bowling department of the seam in the team, the fifth on the table with four victories out of seven games.
