Lucknow Super Giants franchise has been fantastic in the last two IPL seasons by qualifying for the playoffs but unfortunately, they failed to reach the final stage of the game in both editions.
LSG have retained their strong batting line-up from last season and apart from that they have traded a middle-order batsman like Padikkal from RR also but they lack good bowling options, hence they could target some good bowlers in the 2024 IPL auction.
1. Wanindu Hasaranga:
Wanindu Hasaranga has been a game-changer with the ball in T20s and one-day cricket. He was phenomenal for RCB in IPL 2022 and before getting injured this year, he played a crucial role in helping Sri Lanka to play the 2023 World Cup with his stellar performance in the 2023 WC qualifiers tournament. Hasaranga’s addition to the LSG squad will be an asset for their side as his combo with Ravi Bishnoi could be a real threat to the opposition team.

2. Gerald Coetzee:
The South African speedster was very impressive with the ball in the 2023 World Cup as he took 20 wickets from just 8 innings. LSG would need a strong-pace bowling option to play alongside Mark Wood, hence he could be a perfect fit in the squad. As of now, Lucknow have pacers like Yash Thakur and Mohsin Khan hence they would look for options like Coetzee.

3. Josh Hazlewood:
The Australian right-arm pacer could be an integral part of LSG setup if he gets picked by the franchise as he exhibits a very good talent with the ball on field and as stated above he can fill in the role of front-line pacer role perfectly.
