Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had a disappointing season in the last IPL, finishing seventh on the points table. The team won only six out of their 14 matches and struggled to find consistency throughout the tournament.
Ahead of IPL 2026, LSG has strengthened their squad by bringing in experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami from Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he was one of their most expensive players. Rishabh Pant will continue as the captain and lead the team in the upcoming season.
