How did LSG fare in IPL 2024?
In the previous IPL season, Lucknow Super Giants managed to win seven matches but lost the same number. With 14 points, they finished level with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, and Delhi Capitals. However, due to a lower net run rate, they ended up in seventh place. This disappointing performance likely influenced the franchise's decision to part ways with captain KL Rahul.
