LSG IPL 2023:
This is the best possible XI for Lucknow Supergiants, who signed Nicolas Pooran for a whopping Rs 1.6 crore at the Kochi auction.
The Lucknow Super Giants have a number of all-rounders in store ahead of the auction and have decided to invest in a specialist batter. Little wonder, then, that we went to West Indian hitter Nicholas Poulain, who can both anchor and shift at midfield. Lucknow are now hitting deep, with Kurnal his Pandia in his seventh place and his potential starting XI with up to seven bowling his options. With the addition of all-rounders Romario Shepard and Daniel Sams, the Supergiants can continue to tinker with their roster throughout the season without sacrificing enviable depth. The team, led by KL Rahul, also added Indian pacesetter Jaydev Unadkat and Yash Thakur, who can serve as a strong backup to Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan and Mark Wood.
