Lucknow Super Giants has a big problem right now. Many of their fast bowlers are injured. This is bad news for the team. The IPL 2025 season starts very soon. LSG needs its bowlers to be healthy. But several key players cannot play yet.
Akash Deep Will Miss the First Games
Akash Deep injured his back a few months ago. He played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. His back got injured during those matches. Now he is trying to get better. He works hard at NCA. Doctors must say he is okay to play. But they have not given permission yet. So Akash Deep cannot play the first few games. This is a big loss for LSG. Akash Deep is a very good bowler. The team was counting on him to take wickets.
Other Bowlers Also Face Problems
Mayank Yadav also has an injury. He hurt his lower back in November. He has started bowling again at the NCA. But he is not ready for matches yet. The team thinks he might join by April 11.
That means he will miss games as well. LSG needs to find someone else. They need bowlers who can play right away.
Mohsin Khan is another injured bowler. LSG retain him before the auction. But now he has a calf injury. No one knows when Mohsin can play again. The team is waiting for more news. They hope he gets better soon.
Avesh Khan is fully fit now. But he has not joined the team. He needs to come to the camp soon. Mitchell Marsh has a back problem too. He will only bat this season. He cannot bowl because of his injury.
This makes LSG’s bowling even weaker. They need more options. Good bowling wins cricket matches.
Team Looks for Solutions
LSG knows they need help quickly. They are looking at two players. Shardul Thakur and Shivam Mavi might join the team. Both players were not bought in the auction. But now they train with LSG. People have seen them wearing LSG clothes.
They join team meetings and practice sessions. This shows they might play for LSG soon. The team can sign them as replacements. LSG plays their first match on March 24. They will face Delhi Capitals. They need to fix their bowling before then.
