Shardul Thakur to Replace Injured LSG Pacer in IPL 2025?

Prepend to the Content

The new season of IPL is just a few days away. All ten teams are practicing hard to get ready. However, some teams are facing injury problems.

Many big players, including Jasprit Bumrah, will miss the first few matches. But Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have the biggest worries. Three of their top fast bowlers might not be available for their first game.

Mayank, Mohsin, And Avesh May Miss First Match

LSG’s first problem is Mayank Yadav. The franchise retained him for ₹11 crore, but he is injured. He has a back problem and has not yet received clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Reports say he could miss the first half of IPL 2025.

Apart from Mayank, Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan are also doubtful for the first match against Delhi Capitals on March 24.

Avesh Khan is recovering from a knee injury. He has not played any matches in January. While he is getting better, it is still not clear if he will be fit for the first match. Mohsin Khan’s injury details are unknown, but he also has not been cleared by the NCA yet.

Shardul Thakur And Shivam Mavi Seen In LSG Camp

Amid all these injury concerns, Maharashtra all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been spotted at LSG’s practice camp. There are rumors that he is just a net bowler, but many believe that LSG will soon announce him as an official replacement for Mayank Yadav or another injured player.

Shardul Thakur had a base price of ₹2 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, but no team picked him. If LSG signs him as a replacement, it will be a great opportunity for him.

Another fast bowler, Shivam Mavi, has also been seen in LSG’s camp. It is unclear whether he will also be a replacement or if he is there just to bowl in the nets.

If Mayank, Mohsin, and Avesh do not recover in time, LSG will have only two main fast bowlers left for the first match – Akash Deep and Shamar Joseph.

Fans will be waiting for an official announcement from the team regarding replacements.
