KL Rahul Released as LSG Finalizes Retention List 

Lucknow Super Giants have finalized their player retentions and releases ahead of IPL 2025, marking significant changes to their squad. Nicholas Pooran, retained at Rs 21 crore, leads their roster as the highest-paid player. Alongside him, key retentions include Ravi Bishnoi and Mayank Yadav, both retained at Rs 11 crore, and Mohsin Khan and Ayush Badoni, each at Rs 4 crore.

LSG Retention List:

  • Nicholas Pooran (Rs 21 crore)
  • Ravi Bishnoi (Rs 11 crore)
  • Mayank Yadav (Rs 11 crore)
  • Mohsin Khan (Rs 4 crore)
  • Ayush Badoni (Rs 4 crore)

Notably, the franchise has decided to release KL Rahul, who had captained the team since their debut in 2022. Under Rahul’s leadership, LSG made the playoffs twice in three seasons, though a seventh-place finish last season sparked speculations of internal tensions. The team has also reshuffled its support staff, appointing former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan as a mentor, replacing Gautam Gambhir. Justin Langer continues as head coach.

Other released players include Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal Pandya.
