Lucknow Super Giants did pretty well last season. They were third in the points table in the Group Stage. But with a stable squad, Lucknow would want to take things a step ahead in 2023.
Here’s The Best Predicted Playing 11 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for IPL 2023:
Lucknow Super Giants Squad Composition

Best Predicted Playing 11
Openers: KL Rahul & Quinton de Kock

Middle-order: Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran & Ayush Badoni
Deepak Hooda is likely to play at number 3, Nicholas Pooran at number 4, and Ayush Badoni at number 5. Nicholas Pooran has made the middle-order look stronger this time.

Lower-order: Marcus Stoinis & Krunal Pandya
Lucknow have the same duo of Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya for their lower order. Apart from these two, Lucknow can also fall back on Romario Shephard and Krishnappa Gowtham for the finisher role.
Bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Mark Wood & Avesh Khan
The bowling department is going to look similar to what we had seen last year. While Bishnoi, Mohsin, and Avesh are constant in the bowling department, the addition of Mark Wood makes this bowling line-up a hot property.
