Nicholas Pooran

A game-changer in T20 cricket, Nicholas Pooran has been the backbone of LSG since coming into the franchise in 2023. The Swashbuckling batter has often proven his talent to access, and change the flow of the encounter from any situation. Pooran has been the catalyst in LSG's batting line-up, which has blown hot and cold often.

Mohsin Khan

As a bowler, Mohsin Khan's credentials cannot be quizzed, but his fitness remains a constant worry. Mohsin's height and sheer pacer make him more impactful, which adds depth to his bowling.  Mohsin can also play the role of a batter, which comes in handy for an aggressive line-up.

Ayush Badoni

An LSG product, Ayush Badoni, has been on the rise and has evolved his batting from textbook to more of a flair-style. Ayush also adapts well to situations and can fit into multiple roles for the team, making this his USP. Apart-bowler as well, Badoni does provide the side an extra bowling option.
