The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini auction has ten teams going against each other to get the best player in their squad for the next season. With the core of the side retained, all teams need a couple of signings to fill in the loopholes, and one team that desperately needs a solid auction is the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

The team had a new leader in the IPL 2025 campaign in Rishabh Pant, and the newly appointed skipper failed to deliver the goods as LSG failed to reach the knockouts. The team has a solid batting core retained and with a solid purse of 22.9 crores left, the team from Lucknow will aim to close the loopholes in the bowling department.

Conclusion

Just like last season, LSG have strengthened their batting with some interesting buys, but the long-standing bowling woes continue as injury-prone Nortje and Hasaranga have joined the squad, and the batters will once again have to do the heavy duty.
