Rajasthan Royals Team Insights

Heading into the IPL 2025 season, there are some concerns over Rajasthan Royals and the squad they managed to build in the mega auction last year. Post the 2022 Mega Auction, Rajasthan Royals had managed to stitch together an extremely strong lineup which led them to the finals.

However, in 2025 RR will be entering after losing their key players in Jos Buttler, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin has significantly weakened their squad. RR have brought back the likes of Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana to bolster their bowling lineup but it remains to be seen how the team fares without their star players. 

Captain Sanju Samson along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmeyer will have to grow into their roles as leaders of the team if Rajasthan Royals want to make a deep run in the playoffs of IPL 2025.

Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep Sharma, Jofra Archer (Rs. 12.50 crore), Maheesh Theekshana (Rs. 4.4 crore), Wanindu Hasaranga (Rs. 5.25 crore), Akash Madhwal (Rs. 1.20 crore), Kumar Kartikeya (Rs. 30 lakh), Nitish Rana (Rs. 4.20 crore), Tushar Deshpande (Rs. 6.50 crore), Shubham Dubey (Rs. 80 lakh), Yudhvir Singh (Rs. 35 lakh), Fazalhaq Farooqi (Rs. 2 crore), Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rs. 1.10 crore), Kwena Maphaka (Rs. 1.50 crore), Kunal Rathore (Rs. 30 lakh), Ashok Sharma (Rs. 30 lakh).

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.
