In the IPL 2023, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) managed to secure a spot in the playoffs but fell short in their quest for the coveted trophy. Despite being one of the most dominant teams in the cash-rich league for the past two editions, LSG faced a setback, particularly with the absence of their mentor Gautam Gambhir, who rejoined the KKR camp.
As the trade and retention deadline for IPL 2024 approaches, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up for another season, aiming to build on their previous successes under the leadership of KL Rahul. Since their establishment in 2022, LSG has steadily climbed the ranks, reaching the knockout stages in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The team’s consistent performances have elevated expectations, and they now aspire to secure their first IPL title in the upcoming 17th edition.
Despite finishing third in IPL 2023, LSG fell short of reaching the tournament’s final. With potential new signings and strategic moves, the franchise is optimistic about turning their fortunes around. A significant development occurred as LSG engaged in a trade with Rajasthan Royals, acquiring star Indian batter Devdutt Padikkal in exchange for pacer Avesh Khan.

In the released players list for 2024, LSG bid farewell to Romario Shepherd, Jaydev Unadkat, Daniel Sams, Manan Vohra, Swapnil Singh, Karan Sharma, Arpit Guleria, Suyash Shedge, and Karun Nair. As LSG enters the IPL 2024 auction with a remaining purse of INR 13.9 Crore, strategic acquisitions and a well-rounded squad will be crucial elements in their quest for the coveted IPL title.
