A Look At The Team Of Lucknow Super Giants
The new and debut team managed to gather a decent team for their first-ever IPL season. All the teams and staff members are excited to start their season with players from both domestic and overseas. To give you an idea about the team, here is the full list of Lucknow super giants players:
- KL Rahul,
- Marcus Stoinis,
- Ravi Bishnoi
- Quinton de Kock,
- Deepak Hooda,
- Manish Pandey,
- Krunal Pandya,

By analyzing the team, it is not wrong to say that they have a couple of great players who have played well constantly in the previous seasons of IPL. You can see that the LSG tried to build a balanced team with pacers like Dusmanta Chameera, Avesh Khan, Mark Wood, and Jason holders. Jason Holder, the senior player from West Indies, is going to help the team with his experience of bowling in death overs. Apart from him being a talented spinner from Rajasthan, Ravi Bishnoi will seek to support him in the bowling section in the IPL 2022. They also backup spinners such as K, Gowtham, and Krunal Pandya, both of them can bat and shown have their capabilities in hitting wonder-full shots when needed.
But in the batting section, it would not be wrong to say that they lack some experience here. They have the right openers in terms of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, but for the middle-order, they do not have players that have been in form. They have batters such as Manish Pandey and Manjan Vohra, but they haven’t been much success in recent seasons of IPL. So the power hitters like Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Gowtham, and Krunal have to be in excellent form since the start of IPL if they want to perform well in the whole IPL season.
