LSG IPL 2025 Schedule: The Lucknow Super Giants are gearing up for an electrifying IPL 2025 campaign with significant changes at the helm. In a bold move that has cricket fans buzzing, LSG has secured the services of dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant as their new captain, acquired for a staggering ₹27 crore at the auction. This leadership transition marks a new chapter for the franchise as they move away from KL Rahul’s tenure. The team’s management structure has also undergone a transformation with the appointment of Justin Langer as head coach and former India pacer Zaheer Khan joining as team mentor, signaling the franchise’s intent to push for their maiden IPL trophy.
LSG’s journey in IPL 2025 begins with an away fixture against Delhi Capitals on March 24 at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. The team has been placed in Group 2 alongside formidable opponents, including SunRisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, and Delhi Capitals. Fans can look forward to seven exciting home matches at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, with key fixtures against Punjab Kings (April 1), Mumbai Indians (April 4), and Chennai Super Kings (April 14) promising high-octane cricket action. The balanced schedule of 14 league matches provides LSG with ample opportunity to build momentum through the tournament.
The squad composition for LSG this season presents an impressive blend of international firepower and domestic talent. Alongside captain Pant, the team boasts international stars including South Africa’s David Miller, Australia’s Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and the explosive Nicholas Pooran. The domestic contingent features promising talents like Avesh Khan, Ayush Badoni, Mohsin Khan, and the skilful leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. However, the team faces an early setback with ₹11 crore retention. Mayank Yadav is expected to miss the majority of the season due to a lumbar stress injury, while Mitchell Marsh’s recent fitness concerns also pose selection challenges.
As the tournament approaches, LSG’s strategic outlook appears focused on maximising their home advantage at the Ekana Stadium while navigating the challenges of player availability. The new leadership trio of Pant, Langer, and Khan brings fresh tactical perspectives to the franchise. With the playoffs scheduled from May 20 to May 25 and the final set for Eden Gardens in Kolkata, LSG’s campaign is structured to build progressively toward the business end of the tournament. Cricket enthusiasts will be watching closely to see if this revamped Lucknow outfit can overcome its early challenges and make a serious push for IPL glory in 2025.
