LSG makes its IPL 2026 debut 1 April To Delhi Capitals against Ekana Cricket Stadium In Lucknow And as they prepare for that opener, the spotlight is on two young Indian fast bowlers who have not had an easy journey in the last few seasons.

Why does Irfan Pathan find LSG’s approach different?

Pathan pointed out that not every team shows such patience. According to him, LSG’s decision to stick with these young Indian fast bowlers is rare and commendable, especially when the team already has Mitchell Marsh, aiden markramAnd nicholas puran Like there are strong foreign batsmen. He stressed that the onus is now on the bowlers to make the most of this support.

“Mayank Yadav has played six matches in two years, it is not enough. He is a retained player. He has to be available this year. If there is no place for him in the team, that is a different thing. The franchise has supported him. Mohsin Khan missed the whole of last year, and in previous seasons too, he has not played all the matches. But he has got the support; no other franchise does that. I have seen KKR and MI do it, but many franchises. Loses patience after one or two sessions,” Pathan said on his YouTube channel.

A clear challenge for young fast bowlers

LSG rely heavily on Indian fast bowlers, along with experienced names like mohammed shami And Avesh Khan With, young fast bowler mohsin khan And Mayank Yadav But it is a big responsibility for them to step up and justify their support to the franchise.

Apart from the two retained fast bowlers, LSG has Prince Yadav And Naman Tiwari are also in the form of bowling options, which Rishabh Pant Provide proper depth. But Mayank’s pace, which made him the talk of the town in the first place, is making everyone eager to see him in full swing.

If both the fast bowlers can stay fit and perform at their best, LSG could surprise some teams this season. This is what the franchise hopes to achieve by supporting him.
