Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have made some big decisions ahead of the upcoming IPL mega auction. They have retained five players, including Nicholas Pooran and Mayank Yadav, but have released last season’s captain KL Rahul. This leaves LSG with Rs 69 crore and one Right-To-Match card for the auction. Some potential players they could retain using the RTM card include Shamar Joseph, Naveen-ul-Haq, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, and Quinton de Kock. Hooda, a spin-bowling all-rounder, and Naveen-ul-Haq, known for his variations and new ball skills, could be key additions to the team. It’s worth noting that KKR and RR have no RTMs left as they have retained all six players. LSG will need to make strategic choices to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season, especially considering the playing conditions at their home ground.
