Will LSG unleash 'match-ready' Mayank against RCB?

Mayank's journey since then has been far from straightforward. Injuries and long spells of rehabilitation kept him out for over a year. Now, after carefully building up his workload, he's ready to go again for the first time in IPL 2026.

On the eve of LSG's match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mayank spent some time doing spot bowling at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, before having a long conversation with bowling coach B Arun. Then he sent down a short, sharp spell, visibly high on pace. He then capped off his light evening workout with some stretches and mobility drills, before returning to the change room.
