Rishabh Pant has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants (Image Credit- Twitter) Lucknow Super Giants team is all set for the Indian Premier League 2025. The performance of the Lucknow team was very poor in IPL 2024 and the team could not secure its place in the playoffs. This is the reason why KL Rahul was released by the Lucknow franchise before the upcoming season and Rishabh Pant has entered the team in his place. Rishabh Pant has been bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. Not only this, Lucknow franchise also included David Miller in their team while they retained Nicholas Pooran. At present, the question arising in the minds of all the fans is that what will be the playing XI of Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming season?

Opener: Ayush Badoni and Aidan Markram Ayush Badoni (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Young player Ayush Badoni has performed very well for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL so far and that is why the franchise retained him before the upcoming season. This young player can be seen batting explosively in the upcoming season also. Ayush has always been seen batting as a finisher in the IPL but now the Lucknow franchise would like to give him a new role in the upcoming season. Aidan Markram can be seen playing with Ayush Badoni in the top order. Aiden Markram also has a lot of experience in IPL and has batted well in international cricket as well. This new pairing may be liked by many fans. Middle order: Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, David Miller, Abdul Samad Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) The middle order of Lucknow Super Giants looks the strongest in IPL 2025. The team has Mitchell Marsh who can change the course of the match at any time by batting aggressively. Apart from this, Lucknow Super Giants have also included Rishabh Pant in their team, who can be seen in the role of captaincy along with batting and wicket-keeping. Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran and David Miller, all three batsmen can be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming season. All cricket fans know very well that if these three players get set in a match, then they can completely devastate the bowling lineup of the opposing team. Rishabh Pant will also be very happy with the fact that Puran and David Miller are there in the team and also the brilliant player Abdul Samad can also be included in the playing 11, who has also performed tremendously in this tournament so far.

Ajit Agarkar will stay in Australia during BGT, BCCI is making strong future plans

The first match of the Test series will be played in Perth from 22 November. Ajit Agarkar & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: A big update related to Border-Gavaskar Trophy is coming out. Indian cricket team’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Australia and has been asked to stay there for the entire tour. Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.

Let us tell you that the five-time champion team has Rs 55 crore in its purse and with this it will enter the mega auction. CSK has spent Rs 65 crore for five retentions. CricTracker asked AI to prepare CSK’s team for the IPL 2025 edition. The results that came after this have become a topic of discussion among the fans. The team selected by AI has Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey as batsmen. The list of all-rounders is a little longer. It has Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Rajvardhan Henggekar and Bhagat Verma. Wicketkeepers MS Dhoni and N Jagadeesan, while the name of Prashant Solanki is in the list of spinners. Pacers have Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mathisha Pathirana, Kagiso Rabada, Simarjeet Singh. Two strong all-rounders Shardul Thakur and Rachin Ravindra are out of this AI team.

We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team. He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.

BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.

Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”
