IPL 2025: 3 Players who might be released by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 saw the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) get out to a strong start before faltering in the second half. In the current Indian Premier League (IPL) season, they have once again missed the playoffs. 

A couple of their players' performances prevented them from finishing in the top four, even though many of them performed brilliantly. For the 2026 Indian Premier League, LSG may release these three players.

1. Mayank Yadav

Prior to the massive auction, LSG paid Rs 11 crore to retain Mayank Yadav. But this season, his injuries still plagued the team. There was uncertainty around his return, and when he did play, Mayank only participated in two games, took as many wickets as he did, and then sustained another injury. 

In order to strengthen the bowling attack for the upcoming season, LSG may decide to release him. More games have been missed by him than he has participated in. The team management may have to let him leave even if they really like him.

2. Ravi Bishnoi

One of the players kept before the IPL 2025 super auction was Ravi Bishnoi. He was re-signed by the Lucknow Super Giants for a hefty INR 11 crore. Digvesh Rathi, a rookie colleague, outperformed the leg-spinner, who had a very dismal season.

At an average of 41.66, Bishnoi was able to take nine wickets. He gave up at a rate of 10.41 runs per over, unable to even control the flow of the game. Such figures are intolerable, and LSG would have good reason to fire him, especially now that Digvesh Rathi has emerged as a strong contender.

3. David Miller

Another player LSG purchased with great anticipation was David Miller. Despite paying INR 7.50 crore to get the South African batsman, he has failed to contribute to the tournament.

With an average of 30.60 and a strike rate of 127.50, Miller has only managed to score 153 runs in 11 innings of play this season. Miller may be released prior to the next auction due to his poor results and age. For the upcoming season, LSG may want to add a young finisher to their team.
