Lucknow Super Giants are one of the two new teams who will be part of the Indian Premier League. Owned by the RP group, the Super Giants will be led by KL Rahul, who made the move away from Punjab Kings ahead of the 2022 mega auction.
The Lucknow Super Giants had drafted in KL Rahul, Marcus and Ravi ahead of the mega auction. During the auction in Bengaluru in February, the Lucknow franchise were one of the finest performers, assembling a squad that looks good to challenge for the title.
Lucknow had their mentor Gautam at the auction table along with head coach Andy Flower. Former Delhi Capitals support staff member Vijay will be their assistant coach. They also roped in former Australia fast bowler Andy as their bowling coach.
In Manish Pandey, Lucknow have a reliable and experienced top-order batter who will be looking for a new lease of life in his IPL career.
In the all-rounder's section also, Lucknow score well. They have Stoinis along with Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers as their overseas all-rounders. When it comes to domestic players, LSG have got solid names in Deepak Hooda, K Gowtham and Krunal Pandya.
The bowling group also looks sorted with the likes of Mark Wood, Avesh Khan, Dushmantha Chameera and Ankit Rajpoot. Their spin-bowling department will be led by Shahbaz Nadeem, Bishnoi, Hooda and Krunal. They also have bought leg-spinner, Karn Sharma.
KL Rahul's captaincy will be under the spotlight after a couple of years of underwhelming stints at Punjab Kings. It will be interesting to see how Rahul and mentor Gambhir, who is expected to have a major say, will work together and take the team towards success.
