LSG’s head coach, Justin Langer, has given a promising update regarding fast bowler Mayank Yadav’s recovery from a toe injury. Langer said Mayank is up and running, and he is working very hard at the NCA.

"What I do know is he's working very hard at the NCA, and I saw some video of him bowling yesterday and he was bowling at about 90 to 95%. So Mayank's up and running, which is really great for Indian cricket, for IPL. We saw the impact he had last year. I don't think there's been a bowler in India who's bowled faster than Mayank Yadav. That's why there's so much talk about him,” Langer said at the press conference.

"He's up, he's keen to get going. He bowled really well in Bangalore yesterday at the NCA. I think you have another couple of bowls and hopefully... NCA, to their credit, have obviously done a very good job because they've got Avesh Khan back for us, they've got our Akash Deep back for us. So we really appreciate the work they're doing to get the boys back playing and now hopefully Mayank as well."

At the start of IPL, LSG had faced a tough challenge with their frontline bowlers, Avesh Khan and Akash Deep recovering from injuries. In their absence, Shardul Thakur led the attack. Meanwhile, LSG have been boosted by the availability of Avesh Khan and Akash Deep, who both joined the squad one by one. Akash Deep played his first game against Mumbai on Friday, where LSG sealed a sizzling 12-run win.
