Middle Order: (Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni)
Devdutt Padikkal has been traded for a huge price from RR after seeing his brilliant performance with the bat in the last season.
Nicholas Pooran’s power-hitting ability in death overs has been a game-changer for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023. He smashed 358 runs from 15 innings at a strike rate of 172.94 in the 2023 season for LSG.
The young player Ayush Badoni has played crucial cameos for his side in crunch situations and has earned the faith of team management. In the last IPL season, he scored 238 runs from 12 innings.

All-Rounders: (Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis)
Krunal Pandya in the last season played six games as the captain of Lucknow Supergiants in the absence of KL Rahul. His presence will be very important for the side as he scored 188 runs and picked up 9 wickets with the ball.
Marcus Stoinis’s power-hitting with the bat will also play a huge role for them in middle and death overs for their side. Stoinis was the leading run-scorer (408) for LSG in the 2023 IPL. He also picked up five wickets with the ball.

Bowlers: (Shivam Mavi, Ravi Bishnoi, Mark Wood, Mohsin Khan)
Ravi Bishnoi took the most wickets (16) for LSG in the 2023 IPL. The leg spinner has been turning out as a sensational bowler in T20s since the time he started to get the opportunity in 2022.
Mark Wood was seen picking 11 wickets from just four games in this IPL season at an economy of 8.12. He took a five-wicket haul (5/14) against Delhi Capitals at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow in 2023.
Shivam Mavi was picked by the franchise for ₹ 6.4 crores in the IPL 2024 auction as they were looking for a pacer. The last time he was seen playing in the IPL for KKR was during the 2022 season.
Mohsin Khan, despite not playing many games in the last IPL season, looked very impressive in IPL 2022. The left-arm pacer picked 14 wickets from 9 games at an economy of 5.96 for Lucknow Supergiants in 2022.
