Lucknow Supergiants bought as many as 18 players in the IPL 2022 mega auction.

The franchise had already drafted  KL Rahul for Rs. 17 crores, Marcus Stoinis for Rs. 9.2 crores and Ravi Bishnoi for Rs. 4 crores during the retention window. 

Lucknow Supergiants is a side that is packed with all-round options. Mentor Gautam Gambhir has focussed specifically on picking up multi-talented cricketers.

IPL 2022: First Choice 4 Overseas Players Of Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) For The Tournament

Marcus Stoinis

Stoinis was picked by the franchise ahead of the mega auction with the belief that he would perform the all-rounder’s role to perfection for the side. His impressive numbers with Delhi Capitals made the franchise add him to their squad. He will probably bat anywhere between number four to number seven in the batting order and bowl his quota of overs almost every game. He was recently a part of the Australian team that beat Sri Lanka 4-1 in a T20I series.

Quinton de Kock

KL Rahul will have a new opening partner in De Kock for Lucknow Supergiants. De Kock has proved his worth as a consistent performer for Mumbai Indians. He won two titles with Mumbai and would like to contribute to Lucknow’s success as well. De Kock will also keep wickets for the franchise which will let Rahul concentrate on his batting and consistently score the runs for his side. 

Jason Holder

Holder was being seen as a potential captaincy option for Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, as it turned out, Lucknow Supergiants bagged him in the mega auction and strengthened their team. Holder adds flexibility to the batting line-up. He can bat anywhere between number four to number seven or eight in the line-up and can deliver four overs for his captain consistently.

Mark Wood

Wood can be the fourth player in the playing XI. He will add the pace factor to the bowling attack which will be a key ingredient for the team. Alongside, medium pacers like Holder, Stoinis amongst others, Wood’s raw pace can be used as a surprise factor by the franchise.
