LSG vs MI IPL 2023: Why is Kyle Mayers Not Playing Today’s IPL Match? Check LSG Playing XI

Interestingly, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have not included explosive opening batsman Kyle Mayers in their starting XI for the Eliminator game of Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Lucknow Super Giants will surely be feeling very much high on momentum especially after winning three back-to-back matches against Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders during the league stage of the competition.

LSG vs MI IPL 2023: Why is Kyle Mayers Not Playing Today’s IPL Match?

During the toss, it was revealed that Kyle Mayers is not included in the starting LSG playing XI for today’s LSG vs MI match. However, he is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can come in as an Impact Player at any moment in the match. Interestingly, the explosive West Indies batsman was made to sit on the bench during the last few matches even after performing really well for LSG. Mayers has smashed a total of 361 runs from as many as 12 matches in IPL 2023 so far at a wonderful strike-rate of close to 145 that includes four fifties. Thus, he is very much likely to be drafted as the Impact Player by LSG in the second innings.

“It has been an up and down season, but we have fought and never gave up. We have match winners, it’s a team effort from us, that’s a really good sign. We have covered all bases, just need to execute our skills. We would have batted first as well, but now we have to play some good cricket,” said Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya during the toss.
