Lucknow Super Giants' pace sensation Mayank Yadav returned to the field versus Mumbai on Tuesday, after missing 5 matches due to abdominal soreness.
But just after beginning his fourth over, the youngster experienced pain in the same spot as before, prompting his team to send him back to the dugout.
Head coach Justin Langer revealed to the broadcasters after the match, 'Looks like he is sore in the same spot. His rehab has been perfect. He has bowled pain-free the last week or so and has looked in great condition. We will have a scan and find out tomorrow.'
Langer was also all-praise for Yadav's bowling that took IPL by storm this season, 'It is not just the pace. This game, he showed he has more skills than bowling 150-plus. The more he plays, the more he will learn when to bowl what. Right now, we have given him a free hand to just enjoy himself and bowl what he wants.'
After the game, captain KL Rahul also detailed what went down on the field stating that Yadav complained of slight pain in his sides.
'I have not really spoken to him. He had slight pain in his side and after the first ball, he said that there was a bit of pain. Thought there was no need to risk it, he is still a young lad,' Rahul said.
Yadav's raw pace rattled batters early on in the season as he scalped 6 wickets in just 3 matches before being sidelined for a few weeks.
In his comeback vs MI, the speedster registered figures 1-31 before walking off.
