Lucknow Super Giants did not have a great campaign in IPL 2024. The team would want to make certain changes ahead of the next season. Before that, they might want to release a few players who were not able to contribute a lot in the recent season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players LSG will surely release before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Devdutt Padikkal
It was an extremely disappointing season for Devdutt Padikkal. He had a wonderful domestic season and then made his India debut, as well. However, despite this, he just could not buy runs at IPL 2024. He was dropped after some games.
Now, LSG might not want to back Padikkal further. He, anyways, does not suit to the pitch at Lucknow. Rather, LSG might promote Ayush Badoni and give him a better role in the batting department.
2) Ashton Turner
Ashton Turner is one of the players LSG will surely release before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. In the first place, it was a shock that LSG signed Ashton Turner. It looked to be a decision by Justin Langer.
Turner is someone who does well in the BBL. However, he does not even feature in the Australian setup. Hence, it is always a risk to have him as a backup cricketer for an IPL side. LSG might want a more established option in the coming campaign.
3) Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra just got a handful of overs in IPL 2024. Considering his age and the other youngsters in the Indian cricket circle, LSG might release Amit Mishra.
Amit, as well, might give a chance to an youngster and could step aside. It has been a wonderful career for Amit. He would have probably liked to win more trophies. Nevertheless, when it is about personal numbers, he happens to be one of the best in the history of the league.
