IPL 2025: Shivam Mavi to Joins LSG as Replacement Player? UP Pacer Spotted Bowling in Nets
Shivam Mavi was seen bowling in LSG’s practice session, raising questions about whether he is a replacement or just a net bowler.
Shivam Mavi was not retained by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for IPL 2025. He also went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. However, he has now been seen at LSG’s practice camp, which has raised questions about his role in the team.
LSG’s Injury Problems
Lucknow Super Giants are facing many injury issues before IPL 2025. Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan are still waiting for clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA). This means their availability for the first match is uncertain.
Mayank Yadav, another key fast bowler, is likely to miss the first half of the tournament due to injury. This has left LSG with very few pace bowling options.
Shivam Mavi Spotted at LSG Camp
With these injury concerns, Shivam Mavi was recently seen bowling in the nets at LSG’s practice session. This has led to speculation about his role. Some believe he is just helping as a net bowler, while others think LSG might sign him as a replacement for an injured pacer.
Is Shivam Mavi Set to Join LSG?
LSG has not made any official announcement yet. However, the team needs a backup fast bowler, and Mavi could be a good choice. He has IPL experience and can bowl at a decent pace.
Shardul Thakur was also spotted at the LSG camp. There are chances that he has already been signed as a replacement, and the team might announce it soon. If LSG also signs Mavi, it will strengthen their pace attack for IPL 2025.
For now, fans are waiting for an official update from the team. Will Shivam Mavi get a chance to play in IPL 2025? Only time will tell!
