Lucknow Super Giants full squad after IPL 2025 mega auction
Lucknow Super Giants bought Rishabh Pant for INR 27 crores.
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) created history by splashing INR 27 crores on Rishabh Pant at the IPL 2025 mega auction, making the wicket-keeper batsman the most expensive player in the IPL history.
Pant had been with Delhi Capitals since 2016, but was released ahead of the season. DC used RTM on Pant when LSG had him at INR 20.75 crores. LSG then raised their bid to 27 crore and DC didn’t match it. Thus, Pant went to LSG for 27 crores, the highest a player has ever been bought for in the IPL auction.
LSG attained two Indian seamers for high price – Avesh Khan for 9.75 crores and Akash Deep for 8 crores. They also roped in South Africa’s David Miller for 7.5 crores and his teammate Aiden Markram for 2 crores. Australian all-rounder Mitchel Marsh was sold to LSG for 3.4 crores.
LSG had failed to qualify for the playoffs last season and then parted ways with KL Rahul.
They retained 5 players ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
