Rishabh Pant has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore.
Lucknow Super Giants team is fully prepared for the Indian Premier League 2025. The performance of the Lucknow team was very poor in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs. This is the reason why KL Rahul was released by the Lucknow franchise before the upcoming season and Rishabh Pant has entered the team in his place.
Rishabh Pant has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. Not only this, Lucknow franchise also included David Miller in their team while they retained Nicholas Pooran. At present, this question is arising in the minds of all the fans that what will be the playing XI of Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season? With this, today we tell you the possible playing XI of the first match of IPL 2025 of Lucknow Super Giants.
Opener:
Ayush Badoni and Aidan Markram
Young player Ayush Badoni has performed very well for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL so far and that is why the franchise retained him before the upcoming season. This young player can be seen batting explosively in the upcoming season also. Ayush has always been seen batting as a finisher in the IPL but now the Lucknow franchise would like to give him a new role in the upcoming season.
Aidan Markram can be seen playing with Ayush Badoni in the top order. Aiden Markram also has a lot of experience in IPL and has batted well in international cricket as well. This new pairing may be liked by many fans.
Middle Order:
Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, David Miller, Abdul Samad
The middle order of Lucknow Super Giants looks the strongest in IPL 2025. The team has Mitchell Marsh who can change the course of the match at any time by batting aggressively. Apart from this, Lucknow Super Giants have also included Rishabh Pant in their team, who can be seen in the role of captaincy along with batting and wicket-keeping.
Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran and David Miller, all three batsmen can be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming season. All cricket fans know very well that if these three players get set in a match, then they can completely devastate the bowling lineup of the opposing team.
Rishabh Pant will also be very happy with the fact that Puran and David Miller are there in the team and also the brilliant player Abdul Samad can also be included in the playing 11, who has also performed tremendously in this tournament so far.
Allrounder:
Shahbaz Ahmed
Lucknow Super Giants have Shahbaz Ahmed and Mitchell Marsh as all-rounders. Talking about Shahbaz Ahmed, he has performed brilliantly with batting as well as bowling for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. However, in the upcoming season, he can be seen performing brilliantly for Lucknow Super Giants.
Bowler:
Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Avesh Khan
Ravi Bishnoi has always bowled very well in T20 cricket and has completely devastated the batting lineup of the opposing team. This dynamic player can be seen leaving his mark in the upcoming season also.
Mayank Yadav won the hearts of all the fans by bowling brilliantly in IPL 2024. His bowling was praised by all the cricket fans. Even though Mayank Yadav may not have played many matches in this tournament due to injury, he can be seen bowling lethally in the upcoming season.
Avesh Khan will be seen supporting Mayank Yadav in the fast bowling lineup. Both these players will have to bowl very well because the biggest weakness with Lucknow is their fast bowling lineup. However, if these two players trouble the batsmen of the opposing team, then it will be very difficult to defeat Lucknow Super Giants in this tournament.
