Punjab kings: Cricket News & Match Updates

In Sunday’s match against Gujarat Titans at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, Mayank had to walk off the field after bowling just one over, where he was down on pace and was hit for three boundaries, conceding 13 runs overall. “Mayank felt soreness in the lower abdominal area and as a precaution, we are managing his workload over the next week. We hope to see him soon on the field,” said Colonel Vinod Bisht, LSG CEO, in an official update.

Mayank Yadav has been the standout fast bowler in the tournament for LSG so far, producing blistering three-wicket spells against Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the two matches he played before Sunday’s game, earning him Player of the Match awards on both occasions.
