IPL: 3 LSG players who may find a new team in IPL 2026

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) struggled in the 2025 Indian Premier League. The supporters did not expect to be seventh with six victories and eight losses. Due to injuries and erratic performances, the momentum was lost. A number of very well-known individuals may now be let go, as a few roster adjustments are likely to occur before the next auction.

1. Ravi Bishnoi

Among the players retained was Ravi Bishnoi, and that too for Rs 11 crore. Although Bishnoi's numbers aren't terrific, this one might upset some LSG supporters. He finished with just nine wickets from 11 games at an average of 44.55 and 10.83, which was a fairly high economy rate, after going wicketless in a few of them. 

They most likely targeted a better spinner for the upcoming season due to a lack of confidence and control. Although it will be extremely difficult to let them go, LSG may need to start reevaluating the plan and strengthening the team in order to succeed in 2026.

2. David Miller

David Miller is an IPL veteran, and in IPL 2025, Killer Miller has just fallen short of his reputation as a deadly finisher. At the most recent auction, LSG paid Rs 7.5 crore to get his services. However, Miller now appears to be losing his power. 

He is in his late 30s and only managed to score 153 runs with a strike rate of 127.5 in 11 games, which is not very good for a finisher. For the upcoming season, LSG may want to add a young finisher to their team.

3. Shamar Joseph

Before they added William O'Rourke as an injured replacement, LSG only had the Caribbean pacer as an overseas bowler. Joseph has not got to play in the IPL 2025 yet, though. It's shocking that despite numerous bowling department defeats due to injuries, LSG did not take Shamar into consideration. 

LSG would be better off letting Shamar go rather than squandering his abilities. He is a very gifted bowler who has proven his abilities against the powerful Australians in their own backyard. He might undoubtedly be able to play a lot more games at another franchise.
