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 on April 18. His return comes at a crucial time for LSG, who currently sit at the bottom of the table with only four points from eight matches.

Inglis has been a consistent performer in previous seasons, scoring 278 runs in 11 games for Punjab Kings last season at a strike rate of 162.78. His inclusion is expected to provide much-needed stability and power to a struggling batting lineup.

Matthew Breetzke has left the LSG squad for personal reasons, further opening up opportunities for Inglis. Observers note that if Inglis plays, he can significantly impact tonight’s match against Mumbai Indians.

Key statistics:

  • Josh Inglis missed all eight games for LSG in IPL 2026 so far.
  • Lucknow Super Giants have only four points from eight matches.
  • Inglis scored 278 runs last season at a strike rate of 162.78.

Both teams are desperate for a win. The clash between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants is crucial as both teams seek to improve their standings in the tournament.

No official confirmation has been provided regarding Inglis’s participation in the match. However, his return is viewed as a major boost for LSG, whose batting unit has struggled this season.
