Lucknow Super Giants made their IPL debut in 2022 and made to the playoffs of their first two seasons. But they couldn’t perform well in the IPL 2024 and finished seventh on the table. So, the franchise will be eager to get their hands on the trophy, and for that they need a solid team in the coming IPL 2025. The next edition will have a mega auction, which will see all teams have to do the reshuffle of their squads.
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) aim to keep “players who have a mindset to win,” according to franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka. They retained Nicholas Pooran for INR 21 crore but decided not to keep KL Rahul, their captain for three seasons, after finishing seventh in IPL 2024. Rahul is expected to be a top target in the IPL 2025 auction.
LSG IPL 2025 Retained Players list
1. Nicholas Pooran (Rs 21 crore)
Nicholas Pooran, retained by Lucknow Super Giants for INR 21 crore, is probably one of the most demanded players in franchise cricket worldwide. The Southpaw is a dangerous batter who can win games from any situation, and he has done it consistently for LSG. In 2024, Pooran scored 499 runs at an average of 62.37 and a strike rate of 178.21, with three half-centuries.

2. Ravi Bishnoi (Rs 11 crore)
Ravi Bishnoi, retained by Lucknow Super Giants for INR 11 crore, is an emerging talent in Indian cricket, known for his skillful leg-spin and ability to take crucial wickets. With his recent success as a regular in India’s T20I squad, Bishnoi has gained valuable experience that enhances his value to the team.
3. Mayank Yadav (Rs 11 crore)
Mayank Yadav has been retained by the Super Giants for IPL 2025 at ₹11 crore, following an impressive performance in IPL 2024. The speedster, who dazzled fans with his lightning-fast 150 kmph deliveries, had his season cut short by injury after four explosive matches. Despite this setback, Yadav made a significant impact, later debuting for India and unsettling Bangladesh’s batting order in a T20 series. His remarkable talent and potential have positioned him as a key asset for the Super Giants as they look to build on their success in the upcoming season.

Ayush Badoni has been retained by the Super Giants for IPL 2025 at Rs4 crore, showcasing his promise as a rising star. In IPL 2024, Badoni scored 235 runs in 12 innings, including a memorable fifty that helped turn the tide against the Delhi Capitals. In the 2024 Delhi Premier League, he hit four straight sixes in a thrilling match against Rishabh Pant’s team. He scored 522 runs with an average of 58 and an impressive strike rate of 225.
5. Mohsin Khan (Rs 04 crore)
Mohsin Khan has been retained by the Super Giants for IPL 2025 at ₹4 crore. The tall left-arm pacer took 10 wickets in IPL 2024 and proved reliable in clutch situations. After an impressive debut season in 2022, where he secured 14 wickets at an economy rate below 6, an injury sidelined him in 2023. With his pace and skill, Mohsin is poised to make a strong impact in the upcoming season.
