10. Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) – Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Nicolas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis
Rating: 6.5/10
The Supergiants have one of the most formidable opening slots of the tournament. LSG lacks a proper middle order that can act as pillars to the LSG innings after a tremendous performance from the opening batsmen. Deepak Hooda was their star performer in 2022; he was the only hope for LSG in the middle order, but he has faced a severe setback since then, and his lack of form is a matter of concern for the Supergiants.
LSG would pin all their hopes on the heavily paid Pooran, who is likely to play the role of a finishing middle-order batter due to the continuous disappointment from Stoinis on the international stage and Krunal on the domestic platform.
