In a much-anticipated return, Josh Inglis is set to make his debut for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL on May 4, 2026, at Wankhede Stadium. He missed the first eight matches of the season due to his wedding in Australia.
Inglis’ absence has been felt keenly by the Super Giants, who currently sit at the bottom of the table with only four points from eight matches. His inclusion comes as a major boost for LSG, who have struggled with consistency in their batting lineup this season.
Last season, while playing for Punjab Kings, Inglis scored an impressive 278 runs in just 11 games at a strike rate of 162.78. This performance has fueled expectations that he can add both stability and power to a lineup that has underperformed thus far.
With Matthew Breetzke departing the squad for personal reasons, Inglis’ return could not be more timely. Observers believe that if he plays against Mumbai Indians, he might be crucial in turning around LSG’s fortunes.
Key statistics:
- Inglis missed all 8 games for LSG so far in IPL 2026.
- The team has only 4 points from their matches.
- He scored 278 runs last season with Punjab Kings.
- His strike rate was an impressive 162.78.
