Yadav had returned for the match against Mumbai Indians at the same venue on April 30 but pulled after bowling 3.1 overs, returning to the dugout as his injury flared up again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Langer said there were no updates on Mayank Yadav on Saturday but felt his injury was the usual one that young fast bowlers have to suffer early in their careers. \"No updates. He had a scan. He has got a small tear in a similar area where the last one was. So, it is very unfortunate. We saw the impact he had made,\" said Langer in the pre-match press conference on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He came back into the game, but we can also see there's been a lot of discussion about fast bowlers, and he spoke to (Jasprit) Bumrah after the game and he reassured him that he's going to be a fast bowler,\" said the former Australia coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Part of his journey as a young fast bowler, he's going to get injuries, and in my experience every young fast bowler, probably until they get to 24-26, are going to experience different injuries and also most unfortunate is he's got huge potential,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Langer dispelled the notion that Yadav had made a pre-mature return against Mumbai Indians, which led to his injury aggravating. \"He did his rehabilitation, (it) was excellent. He went into the game, had a couple of balls before the game, he was completely pain-free, so I was very sad for him and it's disappointing for LSG as well,\" said the LSG coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said even if there are chances of Mayank Yadav returning to the squad, it would be a big test for him. \"Already might have to play the rest of the tournament without him. You can fly him, hopefully for the playoffs but it will be a real test as well. It would probably be difficult for him to get up for the backend of the tournament,\" said Langer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
LSG are currently placed third in the third position with 12 points from 10 matches and is in a tight contest with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in the race for the playoff spots behind the top two -- Rajasthan Royals (16) and Kolkata Knight Riders (14).<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/ipl-2024-lsg-might-have-to-play-the-rest-of-the-event-without-mayank-yadav-says-coach-justin-langer.JPG", "alt_img": "IPL 2024: LSG might have to play the rest of the event without Mayank Yadav, says coach Justin Lange", "alt_title": "Bengaluru: IPL match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "IPL 2024: LSG Might Have To Play The Rest Of The Event Without Mayank Yadav, Says Coach Justin Langer On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "IPL 2024: LSG Might Have To Play The Rest Of The Event Without Mayank Yadav, Says Coach Justin Langer, Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are reconciled to probably playing the rest of Indian Premier League (IPL).", "seo_keywords": "Indian Premier League, Mayank Yadav, Justin Langer, Kolkata Knight Riders, Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari, Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, IANS Photo, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals", "tag": "", "tagging": "Indian Premier League, Mayank Yadav, Justin Langer, Kolkata Knight Riders, Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, IANS Photo, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ipl-2024-lsg-might-have-to-play-the-rest-of-the-event-without-mayank-yadav-says-coach-justin-langer", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1071", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-04 20:18:05", "updated": "2024-05-04 20:18:05", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Indian Premier League, Mayank Yadav, Justin Langer, Kolkata Knight Riders, Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari, Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, IANS Photo, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-04 20:18:05", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-2024-lsg-might-have-to-play-the-rest-of-the-event-without-mayank-yadav-says-coach-justin-langer-143991" }
