LSG Shivam Mavi has been ruled out of IPL 2024 with an injury

Lucknow Super Giants' fast bowler Shivam Mavi has been forced out of IPL 2024 due to an undisclosed injury, as revealed in a team Instagram video. Despite his anticipation to contribute to the team's success after recovering from a prior injury, Mavi expressed disappointment at missing the tournament. He emphasized the mental resilience required for cricketers facing setbacks, underlining the importance of planning a comeback and rehabilitation. Having been purchased by LSG for INR 6.4 crores, Mavi's absence leaves a gap in the team's lineup. 

Lucknow Super Giants' currently placed fourth in the points table, will need to choose a replacement from a pool of seam-bowling options including Matt Henry, Shamar Joseph, and others. Mavi pledged his support to the team and expressed hope for their victory, despite his absence.
