Retentions Made by Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants have once again pinned their hopes on young Indian players for the upcoming season of the IPL, who will be assisted by the likes of Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and Nicholas Pooran.
Key Players For Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026
Aiden Markram
The South African T20I captain Aiden Markra, who is expected to open the innings for the Lucknow Super Giants in the next season of the Indian Premier League, will play an important role at the top of the order, given the amount of expierence he has.
Markram, who had a good season in 2025 as well, would also want good support from other batters, especially in the middle order, which wasn't thecase last season as the bulk of the runs for LSG were scored by the top three batters.
Rishabh Pant
The captain of the Lucknow Super Giants, Rishah Pan,t would want to get things back on track after a disappointing season both as a batter and as a leader.
Having said that, Pant can take confidence from the fact that he scored a century againstthe Gujarat Titans in the second half of the tournament and would hope to build on it by getting the 2026 season off to a good start.
Mitchell Marsh
Australia's T20I captain, who was one of the three batters, along with Markram and Pooran, who scored runs on a consistent basis for LSG in the 2025 season, would want to keep up the good work in the next season as well.
It is important that Marsh scores handsomely while opening the batting as the team relies heavily on him due to his ability to take the game away from the opposition
Mayank Yadav
For starters, LSG would hope for Mayank Yadav to stay fit throughout the tournament, as the fast bowler who made his IPL debut in 2024 hasn't played a total of ten games in two seasons so far due to injuries.
If he remains fit, Mayank will be an integral part of LSG's bowling department, as he has the capability of bowling match-winning spells
Performance of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL
Lucknow Super Giants have featured in four IPL seasons so far, having made their debut in 2022, and have had a decent outing so far, with four playoff appearances in the first two editions.
