Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Shivam Mavi is ruled out of the IPL 2024
The fast bowler of Lucknow Super Giants, Shivam Mavi, has yet to play a match this season and has been ruled out because of an injury.
In a video posted by the franchise on Instagram, Mavi, without specifying the nature of the injury, said, “I will miss the tournament a lot. I had come here after an injury and had thought I would play matches for my team and do well. But unfortunately, I will have to leave because I have suffered an injury.
“A cricketer has to be mentally strong for this. If you have an injury, you need to see what you have to do to make a comeback and what things you need to take care of.”
LSG bought Mavi for INR 6.4 crores at this year’s auction. They last played a competitive match in August 2023.
They are currently fourth on the points table with two wins from three games. Mavi did not play in any of those matches.
Mavi further said, “We got a very good team. I will keep cheering for the team, and hopefully, we will win.”
LSG has yet to name a replacement. They have other seam bowling options, such as Matt Henry, Shamar Joseph, Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mayank Yadav, Yash Thakur, Arshad Khan, and Yudhvir Singh.
