It is anticipated that star batter KL Rahul, who has guided Lucknow since the team's founding in 2022, will not be kept on. LSG will have one RTM card up for auction in addition to the five anticipated retentions. Additionally, it has not yet been disclosed how much the five players have been retained. According to reports, LSG's purse will be slashed by a total of INR 51 crore.

Nicholas Pooran will be selected first for Lucknow, followed by Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi, according to ESPNcricinfo. In light of KL Rahul's departure, there were also rumours that Pooran might be selected as the team's captain for the 2025 Indian Premier League.
