Shivam Mavi, Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) player, has unfortunately been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL 2024 season due to an injury. This marks a disappointing turn for Mavi, who had hoped to make his first appearance in the tournament after two years.
This season, LSG has faced the need for player replacements multiple times. The team initially lost Mark Wood due to workload management, bringing in Shamar Joseph as his replacement. Following this, David Willey exited the squad, and LSG recruited Matt Henry as his replacement. Now, with Shivam Mavi sidelined, LSG is yet to announce his replacement.
In a heartfelt video released on April 3, Wednesday, Mavi expressed his disappointment about leaving the team camp to begin his rehabilitation process. "I will miss it a lot. I came here after an injury and thought I would get to play matches for the team. But unfortunately, I will have to go because I have an injury," shared Mavi, shedding light on the challenges faced by cricketers and the necessity of mental strength in overcoming setbacks.

Mavi, who represented Gujarat Titans (GT) last season without playing a match in their run to the final of IPL 2023, was acquired by LSG for 6.4 crore rupees during the auction. Despite his injury, Mavi remained hopeful of contributing to the team's success this season. However, he must now focus on his recovery and return stronger for future opportunities.
LSG's squad for IPL 2024 boasts notable players such as KL Rahul (captain), Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, among others. With Shivam Mavi's departure, LSG's management will be strategizing to ensure the team maintains its competitiveness in the ongoing tournament.
