Josh Inglis Returns to IPL, Boosting Lucknow Super Giants
Josh Inglis is set to make his debut for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 after missing the first eight games due to his wedding. His return could provide a much-needed boost for a team currently sitting at the bottom of the table with only four points from eight matches.
Inglis was busy with his wedding on April 18, which kept him away from the squad. His presence comes at a crucial time—Lucknow has struggled with consistency in their batting lineup this season. Matthew Breetzke has left the LSG squad due to personal reasons, further complicating their situation.
Last season, Inglis scored 278 runs in just 11 games for Punjab Kings, boasting an impressive strike rate of 162.78. Observers believe that if he plays against Mumbai Indians, he can add stability and power to LSG’s batting order.
Key statistics:
- Inglis missed a total of 8 games in IPL 2026.
- Lucknow Super Giants currently have only 4 points from their matches.
- Inglis scored 278 runs last season at a strike rate of 162.78.
The upcoming clash against Mumbai Indians is critical for both teams—both are in must-win territory. The stakes are high, especially for Lucknow, who need to turn their fortunes around quickly. However, officials have not confirmed whether Inglis will play in this match.
His inclusion is expected to be a major boost for LSG, whose batting unit has been a massive letdown thus far. As they face off against a formidable opponent like Mumbai Indians, every run counts. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Inglis’ availability as match time approaches.
