Lucknow Super Giants Team Insights

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head into the IPL 2025 season with a formidable batting lineup but will undoubtedly miss the services of Marcus Stoinis, who was a key player for them in previous editions. However, the addition of Rishabh Pant, who has joined LSG as their captain, adds a new dimension to their squad.

Pant, known for his fearless stroke play and aggressive leadership style, will look to bring his explosive energy into the LSG setup. His presence alongside the hard-hitting Nicholas Pooran and seasoned campaigner David Miller gives LSG incredible depth and power in their middle order. Both Miller and Pooran are known for their ability to finish games in style, making the LSG batting unit one of the most dangerous in the tournament.

RCB enter into the 2025 IPL season with a completely new look, roping in player like Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt and Krunal Pandya.  Under the new leadership of Rajat Patidar, RCB are going in a different direction. However, despite the new direction, a similar question mark still remains over RCB and that is their lack of balanced bowling lineup.
