Having registered a disappointing finish at the 7th position in IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are ready to redraft themselves in the upcoming mini-auction of IPL 2026 and get back to being consistent as they were when they came into existence. Following back-to-back playoff appearances in 2022 and 2023, LSG took a step back over the past two seasons leading to a tactical overhaul heading into 2026.

Under Rishabh Pant, LSG have bankers in an Indian core that includes Nicholas Pooran and the all-round ability of Mitchell Marsh, besides having a pace battery comprising Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav to match their explosive batting. With a little stake of around ₹23 crore left and quite a few slots to fill (including overseas names), they would be looking to bolster the bowling bench-strength and the middle-order stable.

The management has invested in high-impact players rather than make wholesale changes to the squad, believing that Pant’s leadership and the successful return to fitness of key fast bowlers will push them back in contention for the playoffs.
