Lucknow SuperGiants have some serious concerns heading to the eighteenth Indian Premier League season. Although LSG have a power-packed batting unit, four of their fast bowlers have yet to recover from their respective injuries. 

Akash Deep Unlikely To Play First Few Games For LSG

Promising Indian fast bowler Akash Deep sustained a back injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. According to The Times of India, the seamer has yet to get fully fit, with serious doubts looming over his availability for LSG's initial matches in the IPL 2025. 

The pacer is still rehabilitating at BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. He is being accompanied by Mayank Yadav, who has started bowling but has yet to receive fitness clearance for the showpiece event. 

Mohsin Khan's Calf Niggle Frustrates LSG

Left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan is training with the squad, but a recent calf niggle, which he picked up while bowling a few days ago, has jeopardised his chances of playing LSG's inaugural IPL 2025 match. 

Meanwhile, Avesh Khan has apparently recovered from a knee cartilage issue, but he hasn't joined the team yet. In such a scenario, LSG are currently uncertain about their potential pace battery for the first game of the tournament. 

Shardul, Shivam Mavi Likely Replacements For LSG

Shardul Thakur and Shivam Mavi, two pacers who went unsold in last year's mega auction, have been training with the LSG squad ahead of IPL 2025. So, if some of the aforementioned injured players get sidelined, these two might join the team as replacements.
