KL Rahul, who led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) since their IPL debut, helped the team reach the playoffs in their first two seasons.

Pant was signed for ₹27 crore by LSG in the IPL 2025 mega auction on Jeddah and became the most expensive player in the IPL.

LSG, owned by Sanjiv Goenka, debuted in IPL 2022 and made a strong impression by reaching the playoffs in their first two seasons under KL Rahul’s leadership.

People have been speculating that Axar Patel might be the player who will be the captain of DC for the next seasons of IPL.

Rishabh Pant is set to be named captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) from the 2025 season. Pant became the most expensive player in the IPL at the November 2024 mega auction after being bought by LSG for INR 27 crore (US$ 3.21 million approx.) after he opted to go into the auction.

KL Rahul had captained LSG in their first three IPL seasons, guiding the franchise to playoffs in the initial two years but falling short of a final spot.
