LSG will begin their IPL 2025 campaign against the Delhi Capitals on Monday, March 24, in Visakhapatnam.
The 33-year-old all-rounder has been training with the LSG side and is currently in Visakhapatnam.
As per a reprot, Shardul Thakur, who scored 505 runs and snapped 35 wickets in nine matches during the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai following a foot surgery, had signed with Essex to play county cricket. However, the report stated that “Thakur had already alerted Essex that he would take up the offer if any IPL franchise needed a replacement player”.
It was also reported that Mohsin Khan had sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his right knee at the end of December during the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Although he did join the LSG camp, he is currently “doing rehab and will work with the LSG support staff to chalk out his route back”.
