The RPSG Group, headed by Sanjeev Goenka, is the LSG owner for the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Lucknow Super Giants was one of the two teams, along with Gujarat Titans (GT), that came into existence in the 2022 edition of the cash-rich T20 league in India.
They roped in KL Rahul and made him their skipper for the inaugural edition. Rahul came into the LSG team after a couple of fabulous seasons with the bat for the Kings XI Punjab, now Punjab Kings, although his team failed to advance to the playoffs every other time.
Rahul led the Super Giants to the playoffs where they lost to Faf du Plessis’ Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator. Rahul was among the leading run-scorers of the tournament along with Quinton de Kock, who also scored a hundred against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
The 2022 IPL also brought to the fore the dynamic Mohsin Khan, who impressed one and all with his immaculate line and lengths. Not only was he economical, but was a genuine wicket-taker for his team in the tournament.
Last season, the Super Giants made their way through to the playoffs after finishing third in the table with 17 points and a net run rate of +0.284 thanks to wins in eight out of 14 matches. However, they lost to the Mumbai Indians by 81 runs in the Eliminator at the Chepauk and crashed out of the tournament.
The Super Giants did not go berserk in the auction that was staged in Dubai on December 19. They roped in Australian batter Ashton Turner at a price of INR 1 crore. Turner has played a lot of match-winning knocks for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League (BBL), but is yet to make a name for himself in the IPL.
David Willey, who recently retired from international cricket after the World Cup 2023 on Indian soil, will ply his trade for the Super Giants. The Super Giants bought the all-rounder at a price of INR 2 crore.
Shivam Mavi is known for his genuine pace and has been a part of the IPL since 2018. He fetched INR 6.40 from the Super Giants. LSG also roped in young all-rounder Arshin Kulkarni, who is currently a part of the India U19 team.
