Lucknow Super Giants will play at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in IPL 2023. It will be the first season for LSG where they will play in front of their home crowd. Here, we look at the pitch report of the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium and the weather conditions in Lucknow for IPL 2023.
LSG has a well-balanced squad that can go all the way. The management improved the squad at the auctions. Yes, Nicholas Pooran might have been expensive but he fits the role perfectly in this batting line-up. Hence, the investment seems justified. Mohsin Khan will be a big miss for the franchise. However, with players like Avesh Khan and Mark Wood, the team will look to do well in the pace department. Kyle Mayers has been a surprise hit in the first two games. It needs to be seen if the franchise would have him in the team or they would bring Quinton de Kock into the playing XI.

A few days ago, there was an international game at this venue. The pitch was poor and there were many implications because of the same. Hence, the curators might be careful for IPL 2023.
Spinners will enjoy this pitch while a few pacers, who can generate raw pace, will also find success at this venue. The previous IPL game here had a lot of runs scored and this could be the norm for the rest of the season.
