The Lucknow Super Giants have often been underrated in the Indian Premier League (IPL), despite making it to the playoffs twice in their three seasons. In the IPL 2025 mega auction, the team will likely focus on acquiring an opening batter to replace KL Rahul, as they parted ways with their former captain after releasing him ahead of the auction. The franchise has retained five players, including two uncapped players. Nicholas Pooran is a strong contender to take on the captaincy role for the IPL 2025 season.
