Injuries are part of the game, and we have to accept that and move on with the best resources possible. Such was the scene in the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans clash in Lucknow where Mayank Yadav was seen leaving the ground due to an injury after bowling one over.

‌Lucknow pace sensation Mayank Yadav had to retire from the field due to a side strain after bowling just one over for Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL match against Gujarat Titans. Chasing 164 for victory, Gujarat had reached 22-0 in three overs when Mayank was summoned into the attack. Despite previously clocking 150 kph-plus in his first over earlier this season against Punjab Kings, Mayank's pace was noticeably diminished in the only over he bowled against the Titans, bowling around late 130-140 kmph range.

The young speedster made his IPL debut this season and has already showcased a promising performance with six wickets in two matches, putting him in contention for the prestigious purple cap. The 21-year-old grabbed attention with a lightning-fast delivery clocking 155.8 kmph in his debut match against Punjab Kings and was in the spotlight by improving his speed record to 156.7 kmph in the subsequent game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

However, in a sigh of relief to the Super Giants, Krunal Pandya hinted that the bowler may be fine, courtesy of the physio's attention.

The Twitterverse was quick to react to his development and took to social media to discuss LSG’s fresh injury scare.

Not a good sign!

Too hyped

For all the hype about #MayankYadav, he is almost injured in just his 3rd match.#LSGvGT #Lsg #IPL2024 #IPLonJioCinema

Fantastic

KL has been quite fantastic with his bowling changes even as he lost Mayank Yadav

Pity his batting is not allowing anyone to notice how good he has been

He and Samson have been the best captains in this IPL so far

👏👏

True

Ridiculous bowling attack, amazingly stepped up and defended almost to par score with no in-form bowler Mayank Yadav.

Hope it's not serious

So Mayank Yadav left the field due to a side strain. That's the reason why his speeds never clocked above 140kph in his first over. Hope it is not a serious injury. #GTvsLSG #TATAIPL #CricketTwitter

Another one

Well that is Mayank Yadav out of the IPL again then.... he is 21, bowling at that pace with HTD style. He is going to be another injury prone promising pace - fingers crossed he isn't but HTD style of bowling is not for the faint hearted https://t.co/I7Ymvq8vn6

Weird

LSG subbed Stoinis, who could have bowled a few overs, out to bring in the impact player siddharth and now Mayank Yadav went out of the field with an injury. Weird strategies.
