The identity, as a whole, is endowed with strong positive energy to soar higher and higher and achieve success. Lucknow Super Giants is a team for every Indian. It is a team that unites the nation,? read the statement further.</p>

<p>While there were a lot of fans who appreciated the franchise for adopting a message-driven logo for the team, a few have taken a dig at the franchise for not putting any hard yards to design a unique branding.</p>

<p>The logo of the Lucknow SuperGiants resembles the logo of Rising Pune Supergiants, now defunct IPL franchise formerly owned by RPSG Goenka Group.</p>



<p>Nevertheless, the Lucknow SuperGiants have roped in KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and young Ravi Bishnoi as their three drafts pick players. Rahul will draw a salary of INR 17 Crores while Stoinis and Bishnoi will receive INR 9.2 Crores and INR 4 Crores respectively.</p>

<p><strong>The Biggest burden for KL Rahul is to perform, says Gautam Gambhir: </strong>Former Indian world cup winning cricketer and current mentor of Lucknow SuperGiants, Gautam Gambhir reckons the biggest burden for KL Rahul will be to perform for the team in IPL 2022. Gambhir who will work closely with Rahul at Lucknow SuperGiants believes that a hefty price tag will not hamper Rahul?s concentration.</p>



<p>The Lucknow SuperGiants roped in KL Rahul as the skipper of the side by shelling out a colossal sum of INR 17 Crores, which apparently is also the highest salary of any retained cricketer in the IPL 2022.</p>



<p>Gambhir, in his latest conversation, said that the support staff will have to ensure that Rahul?s isn?t loaded up with a lot of information and the right-hander must feel free mentally.</p>



<p>?It is for the support staff to make him feel free. The biggest burden will not be the price tag but the pressure to perform,? said Gambhir as quoted by NDTV.</p>



<p>The southpaw also asserted that the players? shouldn?t think of playing for India after spending just two months on the stage of the Indian Premier League.</p>



<p>?We want players who are honest, want to play for the franchise and who do not think of playing for India in those two months. Playing for India is a by-product. We want performances for Lucknow,? added the former cricketer.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the Lucknow based IPL franchise has recently unveiled their logo of the franchise which symbolise Indian mythology. The logo has a bat and a ball which signifies the body of the mythic bird - Garuda.</p>



<p>Further, the body has been given wings which are made with the colours of Indian tricolour. Garuda is known to take its flights swiftly through the air.</p>

The Biggest burden for KL Rahul is to perform, says Gautam Gambhir

<p>The Indian Premier League is one of the most successful sports leagues not only in India but in the entire world. The revenue that the T20 tournament makes every year is staggering and soon it will overtake even the best leagues in the world like NBA, NFL and UEFA Champions League in terms of annual profit.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, none of this would have been possible without the owners of the IPL teams who have made magnanimous investments into the tournament and with it, the future of Indian cricket.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In this article, we shall be talking about the Owners of each IPL team as they are after all the pillars of the tournament.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="1-chennai-super-kings-india-cements"><strong>1. Chennai Super Kings - India Cements</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Chennai-Super-Kings-Team-Owners.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83284" /><figcaption>CSK Owners</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Chennai Super Kings franchise was originally sold to India Cements during the commencement of the Indian Premier League in 2008 for a term of 10 years and the franchise was later transferred to a separate entity called Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. due to a controversial rule that BCCI changed. However, India Cements still holds majority stakes in Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. and thus they can rightfully be referred to as the owners of the Franchise.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The company is headed by former ICC chairman N. Srinivasan and he takes the important administrative decisions of the club. It is he whom we often see sitting at CSK?s table at the Auctions making bids and at important gatherings representing the team. Although many think of him as the owner of the team, it is actually the India Cements company that owns CSK.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="2-mumbai-indians-reliance-industries"><strong>2. Mumbai Indians - Reliance Industries</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/nita-ambani-647_052615071323.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83285" width="998" height="635" /><figcaption>Ambani Family with Mumbai Indians team</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Mumbai Indians franchise was sold to Reliance Industries Ltd. back in 2008. The famous Indian company acquired the franchise for a then record amount of $111.9 Million.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although the Company is owned by Mukesh Ambani, many are of the opinion that his wife Mrs. Nita Ambani is the actual head of the Mumbai Indians franchise. Nita Ambani was made a board member of Reliance Industries Ltd. in 2014. She is also the founder and chairperson of Reliance foundation and is a well known philanthropist.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The franchise, however, belongs to Reliance Industries Ltd. and not to any particular Ambani family member. However, we often see Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani and their children in the stadiums witnessing the live matches. They are pretty active supporters of the team.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="3-kolkata-knight-riders-red-chillies-entertainment-and-mehta-group"><strong>3. Kolkata Knight Riders - Red Chillies Entertainment and Mehta Group</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/srk.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-83286" width="998" height="567" /><figcaption>Shah Rukh Khan</figcaption></figure>



<p>Kolkata Knight Riders is owned by Red Chillies Entertainment (55%) which is headed by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Mehta Group (45%) which is owned by Jay Mehta and his wife, former Bollywood star Juhi Chawla.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Knight Riders Group also own a major stake in Caribbean Premier League team Trinbago Knight Riders and South African T20 team Cape Town Knight Riders. They have also made a major investment in America?s T20 league - Major League Cricket and are reportedly interested in acquiring a franchise in England?s ?The Hundred? league as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Shah Rukh Khan is also very supportive of his team and he tries to watch as many live games&nbsp; of KKR as possible.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="4-royal-challengers-bangalore-united-spirits"><strong>4. Royal Challengers Bangalore - United Spirits</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/united-spirits-ltd-head-office-nariman-point-mumbai-corporate-companies-38tj0ay.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-83288" width="999" height="734" /><figcaption>United Spirits Logo</figcaption></figure>



<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore is owned by United Spirits Ltd. It was Billionaire Vijay Mallya who bought the franchise back in 2008 for $111.6. He had major stakes in United Spirits back then which he had to sell after all the financial mess that he had to go through.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, United Spirits are still the owners of the Company. It is a beverage company and in fact the team is named after their alcoholic beverage Royal Challenge. Hina Nagarajan is the CEO of United Spirits as of today. She was appointed to the post in 2021.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="5-rajasthan-royals-emerging-media"><strong>5. Rajasthan Royals - Emerging Media</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Manoj-Badale.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83289" width="1001" height="625" /><figcaption>Manoj Badale</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rajasthan Royals is owned by Emerging Media (65%) which is headed by Manoj Badale, RedBird Capital Partners (15%) and Lachlan Murdoch (13%).&nbsp;</p>



<p>The franchise was initially bought by Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty and his husband Raj Kundra in 2008 but after the franchise was banned for 2 years and Raj Kundra was banned for lifetime by the Lodha Committee in 2015 based on betting charges, the company was passed on to Emerging Media.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Manoj Badale is considered to be the head of the franchise as of now as he holds majority stocks. It is he who we see in the IPL auctions and business meetings representing the team.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="6-punjab-kings-preity-zinta-and-mohit-burman"><strong>6. Punjab Kings - Preity Zinta and Mohit Burman&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/priety-zinta-1615195151.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83290" width="999" height="668" /><figcaption>Preity Zinta</figcaption></figure>



<p>Punjab Kings is owned by Dabur Group?s Mohit Burman (46%), Wadia Group?s Ness Wadia (23%), Bollywood star Preity Zinta (23%) , Dey &amp; Dey Group?s Saptarshi Dey and Karan Paul. It is the core group that even bought the franchise back in 2008.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although Preity Zinta is widely regarded as the owner of Punjab Kings due to her popularity and availability with the team in every single match, in reality Mohit Burman holds majority stake in the franchise.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The team was earlier called Kings XI Punjab and its name was recently changed to Punjab Kings.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="7-delhi-capitals-jsw-group-and-gmr-group"><strong>7. Delhi Capitals - JSW Group and GMR Group&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/309116.3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83291" width="999" height="562" /><figcaption>Parth Jindal</figcaption></figure>



<p>GMR Group were the original owners of Delhi Capitals, or as it was then called, Delhi Daredevils. They bought the franchise for $84 Million back in 2008.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In 2018, GMR group sold 50% of the franchise?s stakes to JSW Group for $73 Million and the team was then renamed to Delhi Capitals.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Grandhi Kiran Kumar is the CEO of the GMR Group while Prashant Jain is the CEO of JSW Group. However, it is JSW Group?s Parth Jindal who mainly manages Delhi Capitals.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="8-sunrisers-hyderabad-sun-group"><strong>8. Sunrisers Hyderabad - Sun Group&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Kaviya-Maran1200_5f75f13f9394c.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83292" /><figcaption>Kaviya Maran</figcaption></figure>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad were not a core IPL team to begin with. Deccan Chargers were terminated in 2012 due to prolonged financial issues and they were replaced by the SRH franchise. They debuted in 2013.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Kalanithi Maran, head of the Sun Group bought the franchise for about $11 Million.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Sun Group is famous for their Sun TV Network and they have several other investments in different ventures. Kalanithi Maran?s daughter Kaviya Maran is often seen cheering the team in the stadiums and last year she went crazily viral.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="9-lucknow-supergiants-rpsg-group"><strong>9. Lucknow SuperGiants - RPSG Group&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/1002577-sanjiv-goenka-ipl-lucknow-team.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83300" width="999" height="562" /><figcaption>Sanjiv Goenka</figcaption></figure>



<p>The BCCI added two new franchises to the Indian Premier League starting from IPL 2022 and the auction for the same was organized in 2021.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sanjiv Goenka?s RPSG Group made the record breaking bid of 7090 Crore rupees and acquired the Lucknow Franchise. It has been named Lucknow SuperGiants which is very similar to Rising Pune SuperGiants, Goenka?s first IPL team that played for 2 years.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sanjiv Goenka is one of the leading businessmen of India. He has been pretty open regarding his interest in Cricket for a long time.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="10-ahmedabad-franchise-cvc-capitals"><strong>10. Ahmedabad franchise - CVC Capitals&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/5e8173bf39566531ecfe4424fce66d85.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83295" width="1000" height="632" /><figcaption>CVC Capitals logo</figcaption></figure>

<p>CVC Capitals is a British private equity and investment advisory firm and they had to go through many rigid financial barriers before being able to invest in the franchise. John Clarke is the managing partner and CEO of CVC Capitals.&nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2022: Know the owners of every IPL franchise

tata-ipl-2022-know-the-owners-of-every-ipl-franchise

<p>Less than three days are for the much anticipated Mega Auction of TATA IPL 2022. It will take place on 12th and 13th February in Bengaluru. The teams have already made their respective lists of target players ahead of the Mega event and fans can?t wait to see which players their teams will buy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In this article, we shall be talking about 3 Players that every IPL franchise must buy in the Mega Auction. The set of three players mentioned are different for every IPL franchise depending on their needs.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="chennai-super-kings"><strong>Chennai Super Kings&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Chennai-Super-Kings-10.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83572" width="999" height="589" /></figure>



<p>CSK have always targeted to bring back their core team members back to the squad in Mega Auctions and they must aim to do so this year as well. Here are 3 players that CSK must buy:-</p>



<p><strong>1. Shardul Thakur -</strong> In the recent past, Shardul Thakur has proven to be a valuable asset for any team that he plays for. Shardul Thakur has developed himself to be an all-rounder and having added his batting skills with his already brilliant bowling, he will be a desirable selection for any team. CSK already have an all-rounder in Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul might be their second all-rounder. Therefore they will definitely want to bring him back.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Deepak Chahar -</strong> Here is another player who Chennai Super Kings will try to get back. Deepak Chahar has been MS Dhoni?s man of trust for the last few seasons and he has been extremely useful for them. He can bowl at any position and in the last year he too has worked on his batting skills. Deepak Chahar is thus worth bidding on.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Yuzvendra Chahal -</strong> Yuzvendra Chahal showed his interest in playing for Chennai Super Kings under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and CSK will probably try to make it happen seeing his current form. Chahal has redeemed himself recently and he is in terrific form. He will be their second spinner alongside Ravindra Jadeja.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="mumbai-indians"><strong>Mumbai Indians&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/final-of-ipl-t20-2019-csk-vs_7060b2ae-61da-11ea-926b-bd7a11f61927.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83573" width="998" height="562" /></figure>



<p>Just like CSK, Mumbai Indians also try to buy as many core team players as possible in Mega Auctions but that will probably not be possible for them this season. The best they can do is bring back one player. Here are 3 players that Mumbai must try to buy in the Mega Auction.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>1. Kagiso Rabada -</strong> Mumbai have already lost Trent Boult and they are in dire need of a quality pacer. The only overseas fast bowler who can be compared to Trent Boult at this moment is Kagiso Rabada. He is in tremendous form and Mumbai Indians will try hard to buy him.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Ishan Kishan -</strong> Ishan Kishan is the only player that Mumbai Indians will possibly get a chance of bringing back to their squad but the competition they will get is tremendous. Ishan Kishan was simply phenomenal in the last few matches of IPL 2021 and we all know his quality. Mumbai Indians will do all it takes to sign their former player.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Shikhar Dhawan -</strong> With Quinton de Kock gone, Mumbai Indians are in search of an opener and who better than Shikhar Dhawan to fill in that spot ! Shikhar Dhawan has been in tremendous form lately and he is criminally underrated. Mumbai Indians can sign him for a cut price.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="royal-challengers-bangalore"><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/1006029c-rcb.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83574" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that RCB must buy in the Mega Auction:-</p>



<p><strong>1. David Warner -</strong> As we all know, Virat Kohli has stepped down from captaincy this season and RCB have to find a deserving alternative captain. The only IPL winning captain who is available in the Mega Auction is David Warner. Warner is also in a brilliant form himself and RCB will definitely try to buy him.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Trent Boult -</strong> Royal Challengers Bangalore has always suffered due to their poor bowling performances and with everything being built from ground zero this season, they will try to do away with that. Trent Boult is undoubtedly the best bowler money can buy in the Mega Auction this season and they will try to get hold of him.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Quinton de Kock -</strong> RCB is also in search of a wicket keeper and Quinton de Kock can be just the guy he needs. He will be the 4th overseas player in their playing XI. Quinton de Kock is a tested player in the IPL and RCB can trust him fully.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="kolkata-knight-riders"><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/4m7SZvjTwo.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83576" width="1000" height="577" /></figure>



<p>Here are three player that KKR must buy in the Mega Auction:-</p>



<p><strong>1. Shreyas Iyer -</strong> Kolkata Knight Riders have been reportedly interested in signing the former Delhi Capitals captain for a long time now. They have suffered due to wrong captaincy choices in the last few seasons and they would not want to repeat the same mistake this year as well. Shreyas Iyer is a proven captain in the IPL and they would do everything in their power to buy him.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Harshal Patel -</strong> Harshal Patel was the Purple cap winner of IPL 2021 and he broke many records last season. It was shocking that RCB did not retain him but now KKR have a great opportunity to fill their starting XI with in-form Harshal Patel. They are in need of a pacer and Harshal Patel will be a perfect fit.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Jonny Bairstow - </strong>With Shubman Gill gone, KKR need an opener as well and Jonny Bairstow is one of the best power hitting openers in T20 in the world right now. He is underrated and KKR can get him for a fairly cheap price.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="punjab-kings"><strong>Punjab Kings&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Punjab-Kings-1.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83577" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Punjab Kings must buy:-</p>



<p><strong>1. Pat Cummins - </strong>Although no one else is considering it, Pat Cummins is the captain of the Australian Test team now and the Aussies did great in the Ashes under his captaincy. He can prove to be a great captain for Punjab Kings who are in need of a leader.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pat Cummins is one of the best pacers in the world right now as well and it will indeed be a great signing for Punjab Kings.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Devdutt Padikkal -</strong> Punjab needs an opening partner for Mayank Agarwal and Devdutt Padikkal might be the solution for all their troubles. He is fairly young and underrated - so not many teams will be bidding high for him and Punjab might get him at a cut price. Padikkal has great potential and he can shine in the PBKS setup.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Mitchell Marsh - </strong>Punjab Kings have the highest remaining purse among all the franchises and thus they will probably be the ones to land Mitchell Marsh. Mitchell Marsh was one of the best performers in T20 cricket in the year 2021. He was brilliant both in the BBL and the T20 World Cup and he won the T20WC for Australia with a brilliant knock in the final. He is an all-rounder and will probably be one of the costliest players of IPL 2022. PBKS can land him easily.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="rajasthan-royals"><strong>Rajasthan Royals&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/PTI09-29-2021-000270B-0_1633183711509_1633183729714.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83579" width="998" height="579" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Rajasthan Royals must buy in the Mega Auction:-</p>



<p><strong>1. Rahul Tripathi -</strong> Rahul Tripathi was one of the most underrated performers of IPL 2021. Along with Venkatesh Iyer, Tripathi took KKR single handedly to the final last year. Unfortunately he could not play in the final due to an injury but he proved his potential definitely. He will be a great signing for Rajasthan Royals&nbsp;</p>



<p>2. Kartik Tyagi - Kartik Tyagi was in the Rajasthan Royals squad last season and he showed great potential. Sadly an injury ruled him out of almost the entire season. He is now recovered though and if Rajasthan Royals can get him for less than 4 crores, it will be a no brainer deal for the 2008 IPL winners.&nbsp;</p>



<p>3. Rahul Chahar - Rajasthan Royals have struggled with the unavailability of a quality spinner over the years, They can finally break that chain this year by buying someone like Rahul Chahar. Rahul Chahar was Mumbai Indians? best spin bowler for the last few years and he will definitely shine with Rajasthan as well.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="sunrisers-hyderabad"><strong>Sunrisers Hyderabad</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Sunrisers-Hyderabad-9.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83578" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Sunrisers Hyderabad must buy in the Mega Auction:-</p>



<p><strong>1. Lockie Ferguson -</strong> Sunrisers Hyderabad have always been a pace bowling oriented team and thus Lockie Ferguson will be a perfect signing for them. He is one of the deadliest fast bowlers in the world right now. Sadly he missed the 2021 T20 World Cup owing to an injury. However he is back now and he will surely rule IPL 2022.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Matthew Wade -</strong> The Australian Wicket-keeper was exceptional in the T20 World Cup and he showed the world what he is capable of. Sunrisers Hyderabad are also in need of a wicket keeper and Finisher. They will get both in Matthew Wade.&nbsp;</p>



<p>3. Mohammad Shami - Another fast bowler that Sunrisers Hyderabad will be eager to get their hands on. Mohammad Shami is arguably the best Indian pacer out there currently and he will surely be on the list of Sunrisers Hyderabad.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="delhi-capitals"><strong>Delhi Capitals</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/Delhi-Capitals.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83580" width="1000" height="554" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Delhi Capitals must buy in the Mega Auction:-</p>



<p><strong>Faf du Plessis -</strong> Faf du Plessis was the second highest run scorer of IPL 2021 and it was his best IPL season so far. The former South African captain is only getting better with time and he will probably be targeted by many IPL franchises in the Mega Auction. However, Delhi Capitals are in need of a top order batsman and Faf du Plessis will be a perfect fit for them.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Prasidh Krishna - </strong>Prasidh Krishna has been in great form with the Indian senior team lately. His performances in the West Indies and South Africa series were commendable and he is proving his worth in every match. Delhi Capitals can surely try to get him.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Avesh Khan -</strong> Avesh Khan was Delhi?s best bowler in IPL 2021. Sadly they had to let go of him as they could retain only four players. However, they now have a chance to get him back in the Mega Auction and they probably will.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="lucknow-super-giants"><strong>Lucknow Super Giants</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/202221111744954_HVQqeouC.jpeg" alt="Mega Auction" class="wp-image-83581" width="1001" height="549" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Lucknow Super Giants must buy in the Mega Auction:-&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>1. Ravichandran Ashwin -</strong> Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the most experienced players who will go under the hammer in the Mega Auction. Lucknow Super Giants will definitely try to get him. He will not only be able to assist KL Rahul in captaincy, but can also guide young spinner Ravi Bishnoi alongside of course performing himself.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Wanindu Hasaranga - </strong>Wanindu Hasaranga is the World No.1 T20I bowler in the world right now according to ICC Rankings. He was great in the T20 World Cup. He is an all-rounder and will be a great addition to the Lucknow Super Giants squad.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Yash Dhull -</strong> India U19 captain Yash Dhull had a great performance in the 2022 U19 World Cup. He led the team to victory in the tournament and is a prodigious talent. Lucknow will definitely try to get hold of him in the auction. He is considered to be one of the future stars of India.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 id="ahmedabad-titans"><strong>Ahmedabad Titans</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/hardikcover_1200x768.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83582" width="998" height="567" /></figure>



<p>Here are three players that Ahmedabad Titans must buy in the Mega Auction:-&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>1. Krunal Pandya -</strong> Hardik Pandya is the captain of the Ahmedabad Franchise and the management will definitely want to team him up with his brother. The Hardik-Krunal duo is famously known as the Pandya brothers and they are great together. Ahmedabad will definitely bid for the all-rounder.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>2. Kuldeep Yadav -</strong> Ahmedabad Titans already have a world class spinner in Rashid Khan and adding Kuldeep Yadav will further strengthen their spin threat. Kuldeep Yadav has not been in great form in the last few years but he will definitely give it his all if he is given a chance. Moreover, Rashid Khan will surely help him improve his performances.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>3. Steve Smith -</strong> One experienced player that Ahmedabad can target is Steve Smith. It is not a name that you might have thought of as Steve Smith is not that influential in the shorter formats lately, but he is after all one of the modern day legends. He is not given much chance in the shorter formats lately and it is a bet that Ahmedabad can afford to take.&nbsp;</p>

IPL 2022 Mega Auction: Expected Must Buy 3 players for each team from CSK to Lucknow Super Giants

ipl-2022-mega-auction-expected-must-buy-3-players-for-each-team-from-csk-to-lucknow-super-giants

<p>The IPL 2022 Mega Auction has kicked off and it is even better than what the fans had expected. With all the teams starting from ground zero in the auction, the stakes are as high as they get. Many things depend on this Mega Auction and thus the franchises are giving it their everything.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All the 10 teams are trying their absolute very best to sign the players that are best suited for their teams and trying to build a strong squad that will be suitable for lifting the IPL 2022 Trophy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But what we have to keep in mind is that the fate of all these teams for not only this season but many seasons to come will depend on how strong a team they are able to build today and tomorrow, which makes things even more important and exciting at the same time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The event has now started and the first round of auction is completed now with the 2 crore base price list players being done with already. There have been some exciting transactions in the Mega Auction from the 2 Crore base price already and certain teams are turning out to be very strong which is an exciting prospect for the League and the respective fans.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There have been a number of very controversial transactions in the Mega Auction so far where the price tag doesn?t really fit. Like David Warner being sold to Delhi Capitals for just 6.25 Crores was indeed very shocking.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some other price tags like Shikhar Dhawan for 8.25 Crores, Ravichandran Ashwin for 5 crores and Kagiso Rabada for 9.25 crores were very much justified.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The costliest player in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction so far has been Shreyas Iyer who was sold to Kolkata Knight Riders for 12.25 Crores.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The fanbase has a lot to do with your performance on the field. CSK has mastered this art. They started with the most loved Indian cricketer as their captain.

The people of Madras are in love with this team. The team has always had Superstars with a big face value.

IPL 2022: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Full Schedule &amp; Time Table?

ipl-2022-lucknow-super-giants-lsg-full-schedule-time-table

<p>The Lucknow Super Giants is making a debut in the IPL scene this season. The LSG team has, however, done a great job at the auction table. They have the likes of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/the-biggest-burden-for-kl-rahul-is-to-perform-says-gautam-gambhir/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gautam Gambhir, </a>Andy Flower, and Vijay Dahiya in management. This team has performed exceptionally well at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction covering all bases. It is the only team that spent its entire purse of 90 Crores exactly. Here is a quick analysis of the team:?</p>



<h2>Lucknow Super Giants Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Player Name</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Position</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Player Name</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Position</strong>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>KL Rahul&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td><td>Mohsin Khan&nbsp;</td><td>Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Quinton De Kock&nbsp;</td><td>Batter/Keeper&nbsp;</td><td>Aayush Badoni&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Deepak Hooda&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Shabaz Nadeem&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>Spin Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Manish Pandey&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td><td>Manan Vohra&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Marcus Stoinis&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Dushmantha Chameera&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Krunal Pandya&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Ewin Lewis&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Jason Holder&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Mayank Yadav&nbsp;</td><td>Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ravi Bishnoi&nbsp;</td><td>Spin Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>Kyle Mayers&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ankit Rajpoot&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Krishnappa Gowtham&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Mark Wood&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Avesh Khan&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Strengths of the Lucknow Super Giants:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>T20 is a game of floaters and game-changers. Lucknow Super Giants have made sure to cover all these bases and are filled with all-rounders. Marcus Stoinis, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rcb-to-target-jason-holder-ambati-rayudu-in-the-ipl-2022-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jason Holder, </a>Krunal Pandya, and Deepak Hooda are the top players in this category and Lucknow has them all. According to the requirement, the batsmen can be floated. If you want to hold the innings, Krunal can do that, if you want to attack Hooda and Stoinis will get the job done. Nicholas Pooran took home 10+ crores and they got an equally effective Quinton De Kock at 6.25 Crores.?</p>



<h2>Weakness of LSG:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The team has all bases covered and to find a weakness would mean knit-picking. From number 4 to number 7 the team doesn?t have a specialist batsman but relies on all-rounders. Now, this can eventually mean over-dependence which works both ways. They have a good starting XI which directly falls into place. But the Indian backups are not very formidable. ?</p>



<h2>Opportunities for the Lucknow Super Giants:?</h2>

<p>The biggest opportunity is for Manish Pandey. Pandey is looking to make a comeback to the national team. At Lucknow, he will get ample opportunities to bat at number 3, a place he likes.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ravi-bishnoi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Ravi Bishnoi</a> is looking to seal a spot in the national team ahead of Yuzi and other spinners. He will be the leader of the spin?attack. ?</p>



<h2>Threats to LSG:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The only threat possible is if KL Rahul doesn?t stay expressive at the top. He has to play freely while <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/manish-pandey/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manish Pandey</a> can play the anchor. If KL doesn?t express himself, his worth drops. Ankit Rajpoot is generally very effective but if his day goes bad, it goes very very bad. He leaks run faster than a flowing river. They should hope he bowls well. ?</p>



<h2>Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>KL Rahul (C), Quinton De Kock, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mark Wood, Ankit Rajpoot.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>X-Factor Players:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>KL Rahul is the biggest name on the team. He can win you games in the powerplay overs itself.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/hardik-and-krunal-pandya-donated-more-oxygen-concentrators-to-covid-centres/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Krunal </a>and Deepak have a lot to offer and many points to prove. The team is full of match-winners.?</p>
