LSG Strengths For IPL 2025
Strong Foreign players
With the Caribbean power hitting wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran, who has proven to be a reliable performer for the Lucknow franchise, the squad also has various skilled international players like David Miller, who will bat alongside Aiden Markram. Mitch Marsh who is injured is also in the squad. Most foreign players are flexible and can be included in the playing XI based on match conditions. While Marsh is a flexible player, Miller can prove to be profitable in death overs and Markram can be a good middle order batter.
New Captain

LSG Weaknesses IPL 2025
Injury Crisis
Mayank Yadav and Mitch Marsh are the injured players who will be potential barriers to their title winning campaign. Although Mayank will be available after first half of IPL 2025, Marsh’s availability is uncertain. If there are uncertainties regarding availability of injured players, there might be some replacements.
Unclear spending
Abdul Samad’s high bid of Rs. 4.50 crore seems fortunate, given his minimal impact in the IPL, he scored just 182 runs in IPL 2024 with a poor average of 18.20. SRH didn’t retain him, and his strike rate of 146.07 and average of 19.23 raise doubts about his consistency. Although Samad is regarded as a finisher, his overall performance doesn’t justify his price, which could make him a potential liability to the franchise, despite being used as an impact player.
