Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have submitted the final names of the players retained for the IPL 2025 auction. BCCI had informed all the franchises to submit their list of players retained for the IPL 2025 auction by October 31 (Thursday).

As per IPL 2025 Auction rules, each team can retain a total of 6 players in their squad for IPL 2025. They can retain them directly before the auction or with a Right To Match card during the mega auction.

However, out of these 6 players, a maximum of 5 can be international players while 2 can be non-international players. Therefore, each team can choose 5 capped and 1 uncapped players or 4 capped and 2 uncapped players. Notably, they can also pick less than 6 players for holds now and get the others through RTM later.

Lucknow Super Giants finished in seventh place last season

Lucknow Super Giants were a dominant team in their first two seasons in 2022 and 2023, where they made the playoffs. However, they were unable to replicate a similar program last season in 2024.

Led by KL Rahul, LSG won 7 games and lost 7 out of 14. With 14 points, they finished 7th in the points table. Interestingly, the four teams ranked 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th obtained the same amount of 14 points. Therefore, the net run rate played a key role in LSG’s expulsion from the playoffs.

Best LSG players last season

LSG captain KL Rahul showed excellent form with the bat last season and scored 520 runs in 14 games. He hit 4 fifties but maintained a strike rate of 136+.

West Indies stalwart Nicholas Pooran showed impressive form with the bat with 499 runs in 14 games. With an average of 62+ and a strike rate of 178+, he was a batsman to watch out for during the season.

Among the bowlers, Afghan sensation Naveen-ul-Haq took 14 wickets in 10 games for the team. Yash Thakur (11 wickets), Ravi Bishnoi (10 wickets) and Mohsin Khan (10 wickets) were the other scalpers for the team. Therefore, no LSG bowler could put up a stellar performance in the season.

As a result, LSG needs quite a few changes in their team during the IPL 2025 auction. Notably, they were expected to also manage to enter the playoffs last season, however, they could not achieve an outstanding finish. Some players were in the focus of retentions, however, many others would lose their places after the IPL 2025 Auction.
