Josh Inglis is set to make his debut for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, returning just in time for a crucial match against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on May 4. He missed the start of the season due to his wedding on April 18, leaving LSG in a precarious position.
The Super Giants have struggled significantly this season, sitting 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.
Inglis has proven himself capable, scoring 278 runs in just 11 games for Punjab Kings last season at an impressive strike rate of 162.78. “If Inglis plays, he can add stability and power,” noted a team analyst. His presence could be pivotal as LSG aims to turn around their fortunes.
With Matthew Breetzke departing the squad due to personal reasons, Inglis’ return could not have come at a better time. The upcoming clash against Mumbai Indians is critical; both teams find themselves in must-win territory.
The stakes are high, and observers expect that Inglis’ availability will inevitably be a boost for the Super Giants, whose batting unit has been a massive letdown so far this season. Yet, no official confirmation has come regarding whether he will play in the match.
