Openers:

1. Quinton de Kock (WK): The South African run-machine will still play as the leading open batsman. His aggressive batting and distinctive ability to give quick starts transform him into one of the best at the top of the order.
2. KL Rahul (C): With de Kock, Rahul embraces the responsibility of a captain and demonstrates steadiness and style. Rahul, as an elegant player with high technique and consistency, his leadership, and batting skills will be extremely important to LSG’s success.

Middle Order:

1. Marcus Stoinis: The Aussie all-rounder little out of his best form recently but great players like him turn things around just like that. He can also provide some medium pace in the middle overs.
2. Deepak Hooda: The middle-order batter, Hooda is capable of dictating the flow of an innings as well as having the ability to accelerate when needed, therefore, making him the ideal player at number four.
3. Kyle Mayers: Another West Indian with such versatility is Mayers, who has been influential with bat and ball in international cricket. His ability to turn a match around and offer a wide range of options to LSG means more firepower and variety to LSG. He will either open the innings or play deep according to how the BCCI wants KL to prepare for the T20 World Cup.
4. Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas will look to capitalize on his fierce form lately and smoke all cylinders in this edition of the IPL. He will be the primary lead finisher for LSG this season.

2. Shivam Mavi: The costliest pick for LSG this season, Mavi is expected to lead the bowling attack for LSG, but his track record in IPL has not been so impressive. This will be a major issue of LSG and how they tackle this issue will impact their success this season.
3. Yash Thakur: The talented youngster had a brilliant season last year with picking up wickets at crucial times, making him a vital part of the bowling unit.
4. Mohsin Khan: Rounding off the pace attack, Mohsin has shown potential in domestic cricket with his left-arm pace, offering variety to the LSG bowling lineup.

Impact Player:

Ayush Badoni: Known for his fearless batting, Badoni could be a game-changer in matches where extra batting depth or a spin option is needed. His ability to clear the boundaries effortlessly makes him a valuable asset as an impact player.

The Lucknow Super Giants have assembled a team with a good blend of experienced internationals and exciting young talent. With a solid batting lineup, versatile all-rounders, and a potent bowling attack, LSG looks set to challenge for the top spots in IPL 2024.
