AI-predicted IPL 2025 squad for LSG ft. Jofra Archer, David Miller

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will enter IPL 2025 mega auction with five players in their squad and ₹69 crore available to spend. The LSG team management made a big decision by releasing their captain KL Rahul ahead of the mega auction.

Seasoned campaigners like Krunal Pandya and Quinton de Kock also did not find a place on LSG's retention list as they went for Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, and Ayush Badoni. Plenty of spots are still vacant in the LSG lineup, and for that the team management will have to use their funds wisely at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Here's how the Lucknow squad may look like after the mega auction as per Meta AI's prediction.

Batters - Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Anmolpreet Singh, Atharva Taide, Abhishek Goswami, Srikar Bharat (wk), Kusal Mendis and Kane Williamson

Meta AI expects LSG to rope in big overseas names like Kane Williamson and David Miller at the mega auction. Williamson has been associated with LSG's sister franchise Durban's Super Giants in SA20.

Kusal Mendis can be a perfect replacement for Quinton de Kock at the Lucknow-based franchise. Apart from that, the AI tool thinks the Super Giants will go for wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat and rising stars Anmolpreet Singh, Atharva Taide and Abhishek Goswami to join Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni in the batting unit.

All-rounders - Saurabh Kumar, Swapnil Singh, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Tom Curran, Daryl Mitchell, Bhagath Varma, K Gowtham (RTM) and Jason Holder

Meta AI has predicted that LSG will invest in three overseas all-rounders, namely Tom Curran, Daryl Mitchell, and Jason Holder at the IPL 2025 mega auction. All three all-rounders are underrated match-winners, who can be available for a bargain price at the auction.

The AI tool thinks LSG may use their RTM option for spin-bowling all-rounder K Gowtham and also rope in Saurabh Kumar and Swapnil Singh to strengthen the all-rounders' department.

Besides, Meta AI expects LSG to sign former Chennai Super Kings players Bhagath Varma and Rajvardhan Hangargekar in the uncapped category.

Bowlers - Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Jofra Archer, Ishan Porel, Avesh Khan, Yash Thakur, Ankit Rajpoot and Kartik Tyagi

While the pitch in Lucknow has supported the spinners in the past, Meta AI thinks the Lucknow Super Giants will go hard for quality pacers at the IPL 2025 mega auction. As per the AI tool, express English pacer Jofra Archer will join Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan in the pace attack of Lucknow.

Meta AI also expects Ishan Porel, Avesh Khan, Yash Thakur, Ankit Rajpoot and Kartik Tyagi to bag contracts from LSG at the mega auction. Ravi Bishnoi will lead the spin attack of LSG in IPL 2025 as per Meta AI, with all-rounders Swapnil Singh, K Gowtham, and Saurabh Kumar available as other spin options.
