Cricket News Desk. Lucknow Super Giants team has made a squad of 24 players for IPL 2025. LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka spent a lot of money during the mega auction to buy these players. However, they have not yet announced the new captain of this team. But now the wait of the fans is about to end, because Sanjeev Goenka is going to announce the name of the team leader soon. For this, he is going to hold a special press conference, the date of which has been announced. Now the question is that after KL Rahul's departure, will he hand over the command to Rishabh Pant or someone else will take his place?
The captain will be announced on this day.
According to reports, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka will hold a special press conference on Monday, January 20. Meanwhile, he will announce the name of the player who will take charge of the team in IPL 2025. They spent Rs 27 crore for Pant in the mega auction. It is believed that Pant can replace KL Rahul. The command of the team can be handed over only to him. He has also led Delhi Capitals before.
However, Nicholas Puran is also being considered a major contender for this post. There was also talk of making him captain. LSG has retained Puran for IPL 2025 by paying him the highest amount of Rs 18 crore. Not only this, he was also the vice-captain of the team last season. Apart from this, he also has the experience of captaining West Indies in international matches. He has also captained the Caribbean Premier League. This means there is competition for captaincy between Pant and Puran. But it remains to be seen who the team owner selects among the two players.
Full team of LSG:
Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Avesh Khan, Abdul Samad, Aryan Juyal, Akash Deep, Shahbaz Ahmed, Akash Singh, Shamar Joseph, Prince Yadav , Yuvraj Choudhary, Rajvardhan Hungergekar, Arshin Kulkarni, Matthew Britzke, Himmat Singh, M.
