Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have welcomed Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis to their squad as they prepare for a crucial IPL 2026 match against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The 31-year-old's availability had been uncertain due to personal commitments, including his wedding in Western Australia on April 18. Despite these concerns, LSG signed him for ₹8.6 crore after his release from Punjab Kings. His inclusion is seen as vital for LSG, who have struggled this season with only two wins in eight matches. Inglis is expected to enhance a batting lineup that has lacked consistency, particularly among overseas players. His aggressive style and previous success against Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah could provide the much-needed boost. The upcoming clash is critical for both teams as they aim to improve their standings and secure a playoff spot.
