IPL 2025: 3 Match winners in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) squad

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had a disappointing season last year, finishing seventh with 14 points from 14 games. Now, with a 24-member squad, they will aim for a much-improved performance under their new skipper, Rishabh Pant. 

A new era begins under Pant, and it will be a big challenge for him. After reaching the playoffs in 2022 and 2023, got knocked out in the Eliminator both times, LSG failed to qualify last season. To avoid a repeat, Pant will need key players to step up, play to their full potential, and win crucial matches for the team.

Here are the 3 Match winners in the LSG squad for IPL 2025

1. Rishabh Pant

LSG broke the bank to get Team India’s wicketkeeper-batter, spending a massive ₹27 crore to bring Rishabh Pant on board this season. With this, he became the most expensive player in the history of the tournament. Cricket fans know how destructive he can be on his day, but this time, he needs to step up not just as a batter but also as a skipper and lead the team from the front. However, there are debates about whether Rishabh has truly performed to his full potential in the shortest format of the game. This season, LSG fans will hope he delivers both as a batter and as a leader, guiding them to their maiden title.

2. Nicholas Pooran

This West Indies wicketkeeper has been one of the most consistent yet destructive batters in the shortest format of the game in recent times. Across various franchise leagues, Nicholas Pooran has showcased both consistency and power-hitting—a rare combination for any batter to maintain. Last season for LSG, Pooran scored 499 runs in 14 games at an impressive average of 62.38 and a strike rate of 178.21, smashing 36 sixes. Once again this season, he will be a key player in the middle order. With his ability to take the game away single-handedly, even a little support from the other end can make him a match-winner for LSG.

3. David Miller

Another destructive middle-order batter in the LSG squad, David Miller has proven his ability over the years in this competition. Recently, in the Champions Trophy semi-final against New Zealand, he showed what he can still offer by smashing an unbeaten century off just 67 balls. This season, LSG fans will expect Miller to dominate opposition bowlers and score crucial runs. Whether providing strong finishes while batting first or chasing daunting targets, he remains a match-winner who can still deliver.
