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

The crucial news development coming from the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) camp is that Kyle Mayers is not playing their 13th encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Mumbai Indians (MI) being played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Things panned out in an ideal manner for the Lucknow Super Giants recently in the ongoing 16th edition of the IPL as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by a margin of 7 wickets in their last match. LSG are currently placed at the fourth position on the points table with as many as 7 wins and 5 losses in IPL 2023.

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

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, the Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya mentioned that Kyle Mayers is not part of the LSG playing 11 in this LSG vs MI match on Tuesday. However, he is still part of the five substitute members but the Lucknow Super Giants cannot use him as an Impact Player because they are already playing four overseas players, Quinton de Kock, Naveen-ul-Haq, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran. It is a really surprising exclusion from LSG as Mayers had been batting really well at the top having scored a total of 361 runs from as many as 12 games in IPL 2023 at an amazing strike-rate of over 144 that includes four half-centuries.

“It’s a good toss to lose. We would have batted first as well. Every game in IPL is important and there are quite a few changes. Naveen and Deepak Hooda in, Kyle Mayers and Avesh Khan out. There is one more change as well, can’t quite remember it. Everyone is fit and raring to go,” said Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya.
