LuckNow Super Giants

History:

The Lucknow Super Giants were founded in 2017 as one of the newest teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Adani Group owns the franchise, based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and plays its home matches at the newly-built Ekana International Cricket Stadium.

Notable Player

  • Andre Russell: The Jamaican all-rounder is a force to be reckoned with on the field. Known for his explosive batting, blistering pace, and acrobatic fielding, Russell is a game-changer for any team. He has won numerous Player of the Match awards in T20 leagues worldwide and was instrumental in Kolkata Knight Riders’ victory in the 2014 Indian T20 League.
  • Rashid Khan: The Afghan leg-spinner has overtaken the cricket world with his unorthodox bowling and wicket-taking abilities. He is the fastest bowler to reach 100 T20I wickets and has consistently been among the top bowlers in T20 leagues worldwide. His stellar performances have earned him the title of the best T20 bowler in the world by ICC for three consecutive years (2017-2019).
  • Shoaib Malik: The veteran Pakistani all-rounder has been a mainstay in T20 leagues worldwide for over a decade. He is a versatile player, capable of contributing with both bat and ball. Malik has won multiple T20 league titles and has also been a part of the Pakistan team that won the 2009 T20 World Cup.
  • Krunal Pandya: The Indian left-arm spinning all-rounder is a rising star in the T20 format. He debuted for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian T20 League and has since been a crucial squad member. He is a handy middle-order batsman and a reliable spinner who can take wickets essential. Pandya was named the Player of the Match in his T20I debut against the West Indies in 2018.
  • Chris Lynn: The hard-hitting Australian opener is a master at scoring quick runs at the top of the order. Lynn has played in T20 leagues worldwide and is known for his aggressive batting style. He has scored multiple centuries in T20 cricket and was the top run-scorer in the 2016-17 Big Bash League.

Achievements

Despite being a relatively new team in the IPL, the Lucknow Super Giants have had some notable achievements in their short history. In their debut season in 2022, they finished as runners-up after losing to the Chennai Super Kings in the final. The team’s top performers included Maxwell, who scored 523 runs and took 10 wickets, and Kumar, who claimed 21 in 17 matches. The Super Giants will look to build on their success and bring home the IPL trophy in the upcoming seasons.

KL Rahul (Captain and Batter)

KL RAHUL-min
  • Matches: 110
  • Runs: 3897
  • Wickets: 0
  • Role: Batter
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: N/A
  • Nationality: Indian

  • IPL Debut: 2013

As the squad seeks to get things started and leave their imprint in their inaugural IPL season, the fans of the Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL’s newest franchise, will place their expectations on this man. KL Rahul, one of the best batters of the contemporary period, was selected by LSG in a draft and became their skipper. Rahul, who previously led Punjab Kings, will now have a different group of players at his command, but he still intends to lead by example and get the most out of his new colleagues. KL Rahul has scored more than 3200 runs in the IPL. His most recent first-season run totals were 626, 670, 593, and 659. The most points ever scored by an Indian batter in the IPL belong to the stylish but deadly right-hander. He has been an Indian’s cornerstone squad in all competitions, and when he steps onto the pitch for LSG, that will not change.

  • Wickets: 0
  • Role: Wicket Keeper
  • Batting Style: Left Handed
  • Bowling Style: Off Spin
  • Nationality: West Indies
  • DOB: October 2, 1995

Nicholas Pooran, the explosive southpaw wicketkeeper-batsman from Trinidad, is a force to be reckoned with. His ability to quickly hit the ball out of the park makes him a valuable asset to any team. He debuted for Trinidad Red Steel at 16 and became the youngest player to feature in CPL. Despite facing a severe car accident that kept him out of the game for two years, Pooran made a stunning comeback to cricket, displaying his hard-hitting skills in various T20 leagues worldwide. He made his international comeback in 2019 and scored his maiden ODI hundred against Sri Lanka in the same year. Pooran was awarded a central contract by West Indies for his consistent performances and was named captain of the team for shorter formats in 2022 after Pollard’s retirement.

  • Role: All Rounder
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Off break
  • Nationality: Indian

With the Rajasthan Royals, Deepak Hooda made his Indian Premier League start. The young man, who has developed a character as a strong cricket ball attacker, has recently been involved with the Sunrisers. The club recognizes the youngster’s soft off-spinners and hard-hitting later down the line, and they see some promise in him. Hooda, who recently made his Team India début, previously played for RR, SRH, and Punjab Kings before joining LSG for INR 5.75 Crore. He has a track record of effectively batting out a test and can assist the team in getting back on track if early wickets fall.

Krunal Pandya

KRUNAL PANDYA-min
  • Matches: 99
  • Runs: 1341
  • Wickets: 61
  • Role: All Rounder
  • Batting Style: Left Handed
  • Bowling Style: Slow left-arm orthodox
  • Nationality: Indian
  • DOB: March 24, 1991
  • IPL Debut: 2016

With the ball in possession or the bat, the Senior Pandya sibling is never out of the game. If not, he ensures he still contributes on the ground. Krunal, who helped Mumbai win their third championship in 2017, has gained self-assurance and a talent for delivering under duress. He demonstrated this on the night of the final in 2017. In the 2020 campaign, Krunal scored the game-winning runs to help MI capture their fifth championship. Despite leaving MI after being acquired by LSG for INR 8.25 Crore, he will still be an essential player for the new IPL participant. He will be expected to play the dual role of bolstering the middle order while also scooping up wickets with his left-arm spin.

The rise of Indian fast bowlers has been remarkable, and Yudhvir Singh is one of the newest additions to this trend. Born in Jammu on September 13, 1997, he made his T20 and first-class debut for Hyderabad in 2019 before returning to his home state to play for Jammu and Kashmir in 2021. He caught the eye of the Mumbai franchise with some impressive performances in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and was signed by Lucknow for the 2023 Indian T20 League. With limited experience, Yudhvir sees this as a chance to develop his game and progress in his career.

He can bend his back and throw the ball hard and fast to confuse hitters, and his presence could significantly strengthen LSG’s pace-bowling squad. The England speedster may have little IPL experience, but on his best day, he can propel his team to success by himself.

Ravi Bishnoi
RAVI BISHNOI-min
  • Matches: 38
  • Runs: 1085
  • Wickets: 39
  • Role: Bowler
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Leg break googly
  • Nationality: Indian
  • DOB: September 5, 2000
  • IPL Debut: 2020

In the T20 game, leg spinners are incredibly popular, and youthful Ravi Bishnoi has what it takes to become the next big spinner. He made his IPL debut after being selected by Punjab Kings for a staggering INR 2 crore at the auction a few seasons ago. The sum is sufficient to gauge the interest he generated among different franchises, and given his recent performances for Team India, it’s evident that he has the potential to succeed. Unsurprisingly, LSG selected him and KL Rahul to play for their team even before the TATA IPL 2022 sale. He can confuse opponents by turning the projectile. But when it comes to bowling under duress, Bishnoi has also demonstrated a giant heart. The youthful Player hopes to capitalize on a promising start to his career and stand out in the TATA IPL 2022.

Amit Mishra

AMIT MISHRA-min
  • Matches: 154
  • Runs: 3980
  • Wickets: 166
  • Role: Bowler
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Leg break
  • Nationality: Indian
  • DOB: November 24, 1982
  • IPL Debut: 2008

Amit Mishra, the leg-spinner, made a stunning start to his Test career in 2008, filling in for the injured Anil Kumble against Australia and taking 5-71. Additionally, he established himself in the Indian T20 League for Delhi and Hyderabad with his well-disguised googly and leg-break deliveries. Mishra became India’s first-choice spinner after Kumble’s retirement but has sometimes needed more consistency. However, he showed his worth in the recent World T20, taking 10 wickets in 6 matches and winning two consecutive Man of the Match awards. Despite pressure from other spinners, Mishra remains one of India’s best leg spinners.

Born in war-torn Afghanistan, Naveen-ul-Haq Murid escaped as a refugee to Pakistan, where he pursued his passion for cricket. Despite his unorthodox bowling style, Naveen has been recognized as a T20 specialist, following in the footsteps of his fellow Afghan cricketers. He made his mark at the U-16 level and led Afghanistan’s U19 team to the semi-finals in the 2018 World Cup. His impressive international performance earned him spots in T20 leagues worldwide, including the Indian T20 League, where he was picked up by the Lucknow franchise for the 2023 season. Naveen’s emergence as a talented pace bowler adds to Afghanistan’s growing reputation as a cricketing force to be reckoned with.
