Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have finally announced the list of their retained players ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

How have LSG fared in IPL as of now?

Lucknow Super Giants is one of the newest teams in the Indian Premier League set up alongside former champions Gujarat Titans. They have been part of three seasons so far in the IPL and managed to reach the playoffs in their first two seasons. However, they could not make it into the finals and are still far from getting their hands on the prestigious IPL trophy. KL Rahul led the side in their first three seasons. However, their last season was not up to the mark as they finished in the seventh spot with just 7 wins from 14 matches. They failed to seal their spot in the final four for the first time during this season.
