LSG retained Nicholas Pooran for a whopping INR 21 crore [Source: @ImTanujSingh/x.com]
Lucknow Super Giants just dropped their list of retained players for the 2025 IPL season, and they’ve made some bold calls. After a tough season last year, missing out on the playoffs, LSG seems ready to shake things up.
With a mix of star power and young guns, they’re clearly looking to balance the scales. In a massive shake-up, LSG has not retained their captain KL Rahul. It looks like the franchise is ready for a fresh start, maybe even thinking of a new leader for 2025.
Here is a look at the full retention list Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025.
| Player | Retention Spot | Received Salary |

| Nicholas Pooran | 1 | ₹21 Crore |
