It is the intention of almost every franchise to sign at least one or two cricketers from the state. This will please the local fans and at the same time, the knowledge of these local cricketers of the home conditions will also be a help. LSG could also think in this direction. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three Uttar Pradesh cricketers LSG might target in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Bhuvneshwar Kumar
LSG needs an experienced pacer to guide Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan. UP cricketer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be an ideal acquisition.
Bhuvi can bowl at different phases and his experience also offers a great deal of value to the side. He can also be the vice-captain of the side.
2) Nitish Rana (plays for Uttar Pradesh now)
Nitish Rana is one of the Uttar Pradesh cricketers LSG might target in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. In the last few domestic seasons, Rana has been playing for Uttar Pradesh. Even in the recent UP T20 League, Rana was a part of the tournament.
The franchise needs some experienced Indian batters and Nitish could be a good selection. He is good against spin and on his day, he is a match-winner. Plus, he also offers a bit of off-spin, which will add balance to the team, especially at the home venue in Lucknow.
3) Sameer Rizvi
The CSK cricketer is one of the future stars of the state. Although CSK could still try to get him back with the RTM Card, LSG will have a good chance to sign him if they really need the cricketer.
Sameer can be an ideal option for No.3. He is good against spin and will be a proper complement for Nicholas Pooran, who will likely bat at No.4. Hence, Sameer is on this list.
