The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has not revealed plans for Mohsin Khan’s participation in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season for their team. The announcement by the team comes at an opportune moment because their players have faced various injuries. The lack of both left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan and other team members creates bowling challenges for the Lucknow Super Giants.
Injury Concerns within LSG
The main problems faced by the Lucknow Super Giants relate to strategic issues with their bowling approach. IPL teams take this move to ready themselves for upcoming future cricket tournaments. These are as follows:
Mohsin Khan suffered an ACL tear while playing for Uttar Pradesh in his domestic match this year. Mohsin Khan suffered a crossed calf during his LSG net practice thus causing new damage to his ankle. The injury stopped him from taking part in further matches.
Avesh Khan attends medical treatment for his knee cartilage injury. His return to cricket operations remains pending because the National Cricket Academy (NCA) has not granted medical clearance. The Lucknow Super Giants have scheduled their player to join the first matches of their season.
Due to his back stress, Mayank Yadav has to sit out every match he features in. He has been absent from all tournaments since October 2024 and until the present day. He does not have approval from the National Cricket Academy on his medical condition, but even so receives regular treatment.
The LSG has plenty of injuries, and their bowling personnel are attacked the most by them. The Lucknow Super Giants team squad has to be filled with new player candidates for all positions that require player replacement.
Shardul Thakur’s Prospective Inclusion
Shardul Thakur is unique to other players as he has a strong ability to bowl and also good batting skills. Thakur’s batting skills will add more strength to the middle as well as the lower batting order of LSG. The event organizers made a deplorable mistake to miss out on the reacquisition of expert two-way contributors with a long experience during this season while the IPL 2025 Mega Auction is on.
Thakur spent his IPL career with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). While training and being a part of LSG, Thakur has been observed through various sources. Treasure spent the celebrations with his team members and the Holi festivities matched perfectly with the gatherings of team LSG.
Impact on LSG’s Campaign
Thukar’s arrival in the ranks of the LG Squad brought many benefits for them. These are as follows:
Thakur’s deep skills in bowling make him a wicket-taking player and he has proven as an excellent bowler. Its most beneficial effects are delivered, however, by employing the approach throughout over six through ten of a match.
Through its players, LSG gets the best batting adaptability, which turns into an unmatched strength advantage for them in their matches. That said, upon joining the team, Thakur brings an important combination that helps bat power through the middle order, right through the lower order.
Leyton Star Coppinger is set to take on Delhi Capitals (DC) first in the first match of LSG at Visakhapatnam. Thakur’s presence in the player selection benefits the team strongly and helps them manage their present injury problems better.
There is no official clarification to determine their real standing. Numerous reliable sources show Thakur will join the team for its opening clash of this season.
Conclusion
LSG’s preparation for handling team stability during current industry challenges was reflected during the purchase of Shardul Thakur. Having come across many matches, Thakur joins the team after displaying his talent for batting and bowling skills. This selection will expand the benefits that the team will get during the entire tournament period. This move has further improved LSG’s bowling side, which means the team will improve until the tournament duration.
