The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) is approaching, and on Saturday, March 22, the much anticipated competition begins.
One of the newest teams in the league, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has been keeping a careful eye on the recuperation of their pacers, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, and Mayank Yadav. The BCCI Centre of Excellence (formerly NCA) must approve the speed trio’s fitness before they can compete in the 2025 Indian Premier League. The cricket players are presently undergoing rehabilitation and have not yet met the requirements to compete in the ten-team franchise championship.
However, at least a few pacers are expected to receive a positive signal from the board shortly and will also be joining the LSG camp in Lucknow because of this. For the record, Mayank did not play in his first international series against Bangladesh because of a back injury, and he has been out ever since. The landing foot knee has been a problem for Avesh, who was born in Indore.
IPL 2025 begins with LSG vs. Capitals.
The Lucknow squad, which has qualified for two of the three editions they have competed in, will be aiming for a quick comeback in order to win their first championship. In what will be a tournament start for both teams, the team will play the Delhi Capitals in the most recent edition. Visakhapatnam, the venue of a few Capitals games this season, will host the game on Monday, March 24.
Due to the fact that elite cricket players KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant switched clubs from the previous editions, their first matchup is sure to be exciting. While Pant had also been a longtime captain for the Delhi team, Rahul had previously commanded LSG for all three of their seasons. Pant was purchased by LSG at an astounding INR 27 crore, making him the most costly player ever to be put up for auction. He will lead the team this year as well.
