LSG: All the teams have started their preparations for the mega auction for the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). During this time, many big things will be seen in the team of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captained by wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, which missed the playoffs last year.

Many big decisions can be taken in Lucknow Super Giants, owned by Indian business tycoon Sanjiv Goenka, before the mega auction of IPL 2025.

During this, Sanjiv Goenka can make many big changes in his team. The management of Lucknow Super Giants can release many of its players and once again prepare a new team.
Before the mega auction, LSG can try to retain only three players and release the rest of the team.

KL Rahul's captaincy can be taken away

KL Rahul, who has been captaining LSL for the last three years in the Indian Premier League, may be stripped of his captaincy and released this year. KL Rahul has been captaining the team in the IPL for the last three years and has not been able to give the expected results so far. Apart from this, KL Rahul bats very slowly, due to which the team has to suffer many times. In such a situation, the Lucknow Super Giants team may release him this year.

These players including Krunal Pandya can be released

In the Indian Premier League, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya's elder brother Krunal Pandya plays for the Lucknow Super Giants captained by KL Rahul. Krunal Pandya is a batting all-rounder and also bowls spin. However, his performance has been poor for the last few years, so LSG can release David Willey, Mark Wood, Matt Henry, Amit Mishra, Shamar Joseph, Deepak Hooda, Arshad Khan and Devdutt Padikkal along with Krunal Pandya.
