The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have had a successful run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since joining the league in 2022. Having reached the playoffs in both seasons they have played, LSG did not have a whole lot of room left in their squad. With a total of 8 slots and Rs 13.15 crore left, LSG bought 6 players at the IPL 2024 auction.
With over three months left before the IPL 2024 season kicks off, one can’t predict LSG’s performance, but we can speculate about their playing XI.
Players Bought by LSG at the IPL 2024 Auction
Shivam Mavi (Rs 6.4 crore), Arshin Kulkarni (Rs 50 lakh), Ashton Turner (Rs 1 crore), M. Siddharth (Rs. 2.40 crore), David Willey (Rs 2 crore) and Arshad Khan (20 lakh).
LSG Auction, In a Nutshell
With two quality pace bowlers (Shivam Mavi and Arshad Khan), two all-rounders (Arshin Kulkarni and David Willey), a middle-over enforcer in Ashton Turner, and a spinner in M Siddharth, LSG have covered all their bases.
Having just 8 slots left (2 overseas), LSG has made use of their funds. They end the IPL 2024 auction with 6 picks which helps them have a balanced squad. Apart from their auction picks, the franchise also added an upper-order batter in Devdutt Padikkal during the IPL 2024 auction trade window.

Kyle Mayers, Quinton de Kock, Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran, KL Rahul, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Mark Wood, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Shivam Mavi. Impact Sub: Deepak Hooda.
