Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured playoff berths in the last two Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons but fell short of reaching the final. In their pursuit to break new ground, the Super Giants have undergone significant changes in their backroom staff.
Notably, Andy Flower and Gautam Gambhir are no longer associated with the franchise, with Justin Langer taking on the challenging role of head coach.
Leading up to the IPL 2024 auction, Lucknow Super Giants engaged in a trade with the Rajasthan Royals (RR), but the move didn’t appear to significantly strengthen their squad. Their activity at the auction table was notably low-key, reflecting limited funds at their disposal.
LSG’s squad after the IPL 2024 auction: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, K Gowtham, Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Yudhvir Singh, Mark Wood, Krunal Pandya, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Amit Mishra, Naveen-ul-Haq, Prerak Mankad, Shivam Mavi, Arshin Kulkarni, Ashton Turner, M Siddharth, David Willey, Mohammed Arshad Khan.
