LSG Squad Changes for IPL 2026
Rishabh Pant continues captaining LSG despite last season’s struggles overall. The management believes in his leadership abilities still. They made smart player adjustments at the auction.
Mohammed Shami joins the Squad as an experienced pace bowling option! That’s huge for their death-over bowling weaknesses previously. The franchise released David Miller and Ravi Bishnoi surprisingly though.
Injuries destroyed their bowling last season completely devastating them! Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav missed crucial matches due to fitness issues. Ravi Bishnoi underperformed when available even making things worse.
Digvesh Rathi stepped up bravely filling gaps left behind! The classy team needs better injury management desperately. Depth becomes crucial across all departments this season.
Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram provided explosive starts opening! But the middle order featuring Pant and Miller collapsed repeatedly. The franchise now needs middle-order consistency fixing desperately.
Lucknow Super Giants Team for 2026:
Rishabh Pant(C), Aiden Markram, Himmat Singh, Matthew Breetzke, Mukul Choudhary, Akshat Raghuwanshi, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahamad, Arshin Kulkarni, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ayush Badoni, Mohammad Shami, Avesh Khan, M. Siddharth, Digvesh Singh, Akash Singh, Prince Yadav, Arjun Tendulkar, Anrich Nortje, Naman Tiwari, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan
