Sat Apr 19 17:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Lucknow Super Giants Bolster Bowling Attack with Return of Mayank Yadav Ahead of Crucial IPL Clash

**Lucknow, India (April 17, 2025)** – The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have received a significant boost ahead of their crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against the Rajasthan Royals. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav, whose debut was delayed by injury, has returned to the team, adding considerable firepower to their bowling attack.

Yadav, acquired by LSG for a hefty 11 crore, is known for his exceptional pace, consistently bowling at 150 kmph. His return strengthens an already impressive bowling lineup that includes Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan. LSG team owner Sanjiv Goenka personally welcomed Yadav back to the team.

The young bowler’s return was delayed due to a back strain, followed by an accidental toe injury. Coach Langer confirmed the toe injury occurred while Yadav was in bed.

LSG, currently holding 8 points from 7 matches (4 wins), face Rajasthan Royals this Saturday, April 19th, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The match is considered critical for maintaining their position in the points table, and Yadav’s return is expected to significantly impact their chances. The team announced his return via social media, calling him a “secret weapon.” The article also notes LSG’s impressive performance despite lacking prominent bowling names in 2023.
