Josh Inglis returns to IPL 2026 with Lucknow Super Giants

Josh Inglis returns to the IPL for the Lucknow Super Giants on May 4, 2026, after missing the start of the season because of his wedding. His debut comes at a crucial time for a team that has struggled this season.

Inglis missed eight games for LSG, leaving them at the bottom of the table with just four points from eight matches. His availability is seen as a major boost for a side that has had issues with consistency in their batting lineup.

Matthew Breetzke’s departure from the squad due to personal reasons opens a spot for Inglis. Last season, he scored 278 runs in 11 games for Punjab Kings at an impressive strike rate of 162.78.

The upcoming match against the Mumbai Indians is critical for both teams, as they are in must-win territory. Observers believe that if Inglis plays, he can add stability and power to LSG’s batting order.

No official confirmation has been provided regarding whether Inglis will participate in the match. However, his presence is anticipated to significantly impact LSG’s performance moving forward.
