Lucknow Super Giants have shared a video on their social media platform X, in which Shivam Mavi is seen talking about his injury. Mavi said, "I will miss [the tournament] a lot. I had come here after an injury and had thought I would play matches for my team and do well. But unfortunately, I will have to leave because I have suffered an injury. A cricketer has to be mentally strong for this. If you have an injury, you need to see what you have to do to make a comeback, what things you need to take care of."

You'll come back stronger, Shivam. And we're with you all the way. 💙 pic.twitter.com/zYSs3URV1p
