LSG: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have suffered a major setback in IPL 2025 as Mayank Yadav, who is considered to be their fast bowling discovery, has been ruled out due to injury. In his absence, the team had to rework its strategy, and now the team management has decided to take the field with a new playing XI.

The biggest change has happened in the captaincy, where young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has been given the command of the team. Apart from this, some big names have been included in the list of foreign players.

Captaincy responsibility on Rishabh Pant

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has made Rishabh Pant the captain in view of his aggressive batting and leadership ability on the field. Along with him, experienced foreign batsmen like Nicholas Pooran, David Miller and Aiden Markram have been included in the team, who can spoil the bowling of any team.

At the same time, young batsman Ayush Badoni has been successful in retaining his place in the middle order. Apart from this, Mitchell Marsh has been given a place in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as an all-rounder, who can change the course of the match with both bat and ball, if Marsh is in rhythm then he can overpower any team.

With Mayank Yadav out, there has been a big change in fast bowling in the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team. Now the responsibility of bowling will mainly rest on the shoulders of Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan and Shahbaz Ahmed.

Apart from this, there can be a tough competition between Akash Deep and Shamar Joseph for the place of the last fast bowler in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The spin department will once again be led by Ravi Bishnoi, who has been successful in troubling the batsmen for the last few seasons.
