Before the IPL 2025 big auction, the Lucknow Super Giants, or LSG, might keep some of its players and release others. Information concerning this has surfaced that is nearly correct. The Lucknow team will release KL Rahul, who was selected in the draft before to the IPL 2022 big auction. Mayank Yadav, a young fast bowler, can be kept on at the same time. Given his international cricket experience, he should receive a respectable salary from LSG. If he is kept, he might make at least Rs 11 crore.
Nicholas Pooran and Ravi Bishnoi are available for the Lucknow Super Giants to keep in addition to Mayank Yadav. Ayush Badoni and left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan are other untapped talents whom LSG might wager on. The team can release KL Rahul, the captain, and the other players at the same time. According to TOI’s report, the team management is not pleased with his numbers, but if the club wishes, it may choose him from the auction using the RTM card. For the team management, KL Rahul’s strike rate is the main source of concern.
LSG IS CONCERN WITH KL RAHUL STRIKE RATE
IPL sources told TOI, “LSG management, including the team’s new mentor Zaheer Khan and coach Justin Langer, have analysed his stats and it has come out that the team has lost almost all the matches where KL batted for long periods and scored runs. This shows that his strike rate is not matching the pace of the game. With the impact player rule, the scores are going up. You can’t risk someone batting at a low strike rate for so long at the top of the order.”

LSG hasn’t ruled out placing an offer for him at the auction, though. The franchises can choose how much they are willing to pay on Rahul on the day of the auction. The management of the LSG club believes that Mayank is the star bowler of the future, according to IPL sources, thus it shouldn’t come as a surprise if he is selected for retention before Bishnoi. According to IPL sources, “Mayank is an LSG discovery. They made an investment in him when no one was aware of him, and he has since demonstrated the sort of influence he can have on the game.
