The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) stunned everyone at the IPL 2025 Auction by splurging a whopping ₹27 crore for Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. LSG went all out for the T20 World Cup 2024 winning star, making him the most expensive player in IPL history.
It is pertinent to note that the Super Giants had already retained Nicholas Pooran for ₹21 crore ahead of the mega auction. Along with Pooran, LSG also retained Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, Mayank Yadav, and Ravi Bishnoi.
To further strengthen the big-hitting unit, LSG roped in South African batters Aiden Markram and David Miller. The Super Giants also invested in Australian T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh. The all-rounder will likely open the batting for Lucknow, but the team still needs one or two more specialist openers.
While Lucknow have two reliable wicketkeeping options in Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant, they also spent ₹30 lakh to sign Aryan Juyal. Another uncapped talent joining the Super Giants for IPL 2025 is Jammu and Kashmir-based big-hitter Abdul Samad.
The bowling department got only one new addition on the opening day of the mega auction as LSG splurged ₹9.75 crore to get Avesh Khan back in their squad. They also roped in Indian international Akash Deep to strengthen their pace unit.
