Previously, it was reported Mohsin Khan had developed a'stiffness' in his leg following the DC game. However, Moody said that the problem is not serious and that the left arm will return quickly. Mohsin Khan has a long history of injuries that have previously hampered him. The 27-year-old missed the entire past IPL 2025 season after being ruled out due to a calf injury.

Mayank Yadav set to play against RCB?

Mohsin Khan has played 25 IPL matches, taking 28 wickets with a best bowling performance of 4/16. Mayank Yadav was deemed to be fit, but the franchise has been taking precautions to regulate his workload and avoid re-injury. After learning from a prior long-term back injury, the team is cautious, but he has emerged as an impact substitute, indicating a return.

Mayank Yadav has played in 6 matches over two seasons due to his prolonged injury problems. The young pacer has appeared fit on several occasions, but he has been injured after bowling with full intensity during a tournament. This time, LSG wants to be 100% certain before giving him the green light.

He’s worked exceptionally hard- Tom Moody on Mayank Yadav's fitness

Moody provided a positive update on young pace sensation Mayank Yadav, "He’s worked exceptionally hard and is now ready to go," Moody said, stating that Yadav’s availability also creates a “selection headache” given the balance of LSG's bowling attack. "Our bowling has been pretty solid so far. We just haven’t produced the runs to back that up," he said.

Moody highlighted the increasing number of 200-plus totals and successful chases, especially at specific stadiums. He mentioned that the next venue has historically favoured teams batting second, making toss and game awareness crucial.

"At such venues, you don’t want to mentally chase massive totals from the outset if you’re batting first. It’s important to build your innings in phases and then accelerate when the moment is right," he said.
