Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Retained Players List, Auction, Squad, Schedule, Venue IPL 2023

Lucknow Super Giants is a new IPL franchise which made its debut in last season and impressed everyone by qualifying for the playoffs.

In their debut season, LSG was defeated by RCB in the Eliminator round but the overall team performance was pretty impressive.

LSG is owned by Sanjiv Goenka who previously owned Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016-2017 season. The team is based out of Lucknow city and will play all the home matches at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

In the 2022 season, LSG won 9 out of 14 league stage matches and stood at the 3rd spot on the points table.

Lucknow Super Giants Team Information

LSG is led by Indian batsman KL Rahul and mentored by Gautam Gambhir. Zimbabwean veteran player Andy Flower is the head coach of the team.

In IPL 2022, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock opened for the team and they both had a great season. Rahul smashed 616 runs with an average of 51.33 and de Kock scored 508 runs at 36.28.

Deepak Hooda was one of the top players for the LSG side in the last season. With his all-round performance, he also got a call-up from the international side. He grabbed the opportunity and smashed a century against Ireland in T20Is and became 5th Indian to score a century in the format.

The pace attack is strong in LSG with the likes of Avesh Khan, Daniel Sams, Marcus Stoinis, Jaydev Unadkat, Romario Shepherd and Mark Wood. But the spin attack does not have many options other than Ravi Bishnoi, Krunal Pandya, Amit Mishra. All the other spin all-rounders cannot be counted as the full-time bowlers.

LSG roped in West Indies power-hitter Nicholas Pooran for an expensive bid of INR 16 crore. Among their other purchases, there is Aussie all-rounder Daniel Sams, Indian spinner Amit Mishra, West Indies pacer Romario Shepherd, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, Indian pacer Jaydev Unadkat and some domestic players as well.

LSG has a destructive opening pair but they need to strengthen their middle-order where Nicholas Pooran will find a place.
