The TATA IPL 2023 will be the second season for the Lucknow Super Giants. The Lucknow Super Giants had a great first season. They managed to make the playoffs in their first season. It was a splendid inning by Rajat Patidar that blew away all their effort and put it in vain. With that being said, the team will be looking to come back strong. Here is a quick preview of the men from Lucknow and how the team stands:&nbsp;



<h2>Strengths of the Lucknow Super Giants:&nbsp;</h2>



Their multi-faceted players are their biggest strength. They have always relied on all-rounders. The list is a pretty big one this time too. They have Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Daniel Sams, and Krishnappa Gowtham. Marcus is currently one of the top finisher/all-rounder types of players on the planet. They can easily play with 6 to 7 bowling options in TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;



<h2>Weakness of the Lucknow Super Giants:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Deepak-Hooda-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-93329"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hooda will have to soak up maximum pressure in the middle order. IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



The Indian batters look like a point of concern. They have Hooda and KL Rahul as their top batters but their other Indian batters are not in their prime. Krunal Pandya, Manan Vohra, Krishnappa Gowtham, and Ayush Badoni do not give you the kind of reliance a more known player would give. They could have picked Manish Pandey back for a lower price. As they will have to mix and match at the number 3 position to see which combination works for them in TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;



<h2>Opportunities for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>







There is a big opportunity for the batter who gets the number 3 position. A domestic Indian has to play in the middle order to provide the balance. But who will it be? Manan Vohra has previously played in the top order so it can be him. Ayush Badoni gave a good sample size of performances last year so it can be him as well. Whosoever gets the opportunity must be backed for at least 7 games and he must make the most of the given chances. Another opportunity for Ravi Bishnoi to lead the spin attack of the LSG team in TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;



<h2>Threats for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Nicholas-Pooran-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-99090"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The form of Nicholas Pooran can be a big threat as the team has invested the bucks in him! IMG SRC: Windies Cricket.</figcaption></figure>



There are no evident threats but the form of Nicholas Pooran. He is one of the biggest ?hit and a miss? kind of commodities in the IPL. He was bought by the Punjab Kings for 11 Crores and his TATA IPL 2021 was miserable. He switched to the Sunrisers for the same value and had a mediocre season. The Lucknow Super Giants got him for 16 Crores in TATA IPL 2023 Auction but it is about time that he delivers. Another threat is the Indian bowling backup. There is a word around that says, Yash Thakur is the pace sensation to look out for.&nbsp;



<h2>Squad of the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



KL Rahul (c), Ayush Badoni, Karan Sharma, Manan Vohra, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Krishnappa Gowtham, Deepak Hooda, Kyle Mayers, Krunal Pandya, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Mark Wood, Mayank Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Nicholas Pooran, Jaydev Unadkat, Yash Thakur, Romario Shepherd, Daniel Sams, Amit Mishra, Prerak Mankad, Swapnil Singh, Naveen-ul-Haq, Yudhvir Charak.&nbsp;



Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;



KL Rahul(C), Quinton De Kock(WK), Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Mark Wood, Mohsin Khan.&nbsp;



<h2>Schedule of the Lucknow Super Giants:&nbsp;</h2>



The schedule for the TATA IPL 2023 is yet to be released. Hence the official schedule for the Lucknow Super Giants is also yet to be released.&nbsp;



<h2>Predictions for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/KL-Rahul-min-1.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-96184"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KL Rahul will have another dream season with the bat. IMG SRC: LSG.</figcaption></figure>



The prediction for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023 is that the team will make it to the playoffs. They can even reach the final. The team has the much-required balance with loopholes that can be dealt with. The best batter for them will be their consistent skipper KL Rahul and the best bowler will be Ravi Bishnoi.&nbsp;



<h2>X-Factor Players:&nbsp;</h2>



Ravi Bishnoi and Marcus Stoinis are X-Factor Players. Marcus can win games single-handedly. One must not forget that innings he played for the Melbourne Stars in the game where Maxwell scored a 154. He scored 75 of 30 in that match. On his day, Marcus Stoinis can go beast mode. Ravi Bishnoi has to shoulder the responsibility of the spin department. His action is similar to Rashid Khan's. The arm's rotation is super fast; hence, he is tough to pick. Both players will have an immense impact on the tournament. &nbsp;

TATA IPL 2023: Lucknow Super Giants: Best SWOT Analysis, Schedule, Top Preview, Predictions, Squads, Playing XI.&nbsp;

The Lucknow Super Giants have figured out how the IPL works. They managed to make the playoffs in their first season. It was a whirlwind inning by Rajat Patidar that knocked them out; otherwise, they were in contention for the TATA IPL title. The team did rely on their top line to do most of the scoring, though. Their middle order wasn?t tested much, apart from one good inning from Ewin Lewis and a few cameos from Deepak Hooda. So, who will be their key players in TATA IPL 2023? Here is a look:&nbsp;



<h2>Quinton De Kock will be a Key Player for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



Quinton De Kock will have a shared responsibility with KL Rahul to do most of the scoring. This dynamic duo notched up 30% of the total runs scored by their team in TATA IPL 2022. Now that speaks a lot about their ability. De Kock being left-handed will have to neutralize the left-arm pacers against whom KL Rahul struggles. The Lucknow Super Giants will be expecting the South African to hit prime form.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Quinton-de-Kock-1.jpg" alt="Quinton De Kock" class="wp-image-86220" title="Quniton De Kock"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



If De Kock gets going Rahul can take his time to settle down. The only point of concern is that when De Kock bats, the opposition tackles him with an off-spinner. He is working on this weakness and soon will be at his blazing best. One can never forget his innings of 140 runs against the KKR team in TATA IPL 2022 while opening for the Lucknow Super Giants.



<h2>Krunal Pandya/Deepak Hooda will be a Key Player for the Lucknow Super Giants in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Deepak-Hooda-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Deepak Hooda for Lucknow Super Giants" class="wp-image-91593"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Both the Indian all-rounders will have a responsibility of taking care of the middle order of the Lucknow Super Giants. Deepak Hooda is more of a batting all-rounder while Krunal Pandya is a bowling all-rounder. Krunal has been off-color in the past few IPL seasons but the LSG management needs to back his talent as he is a big match player. Krunal gives the LSG team the left-arm spinner option and hence he is a key player. 



That skill is rare and works effectively against right-handers. Deepak Hooda is a floater. He can be used anywhere in the batting order. But to make optimum use of his skill he must play at number 4 or 5. Below that it is a waste of a true asset. Here is a look at Deepak?s Stats:&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>178&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Innings&nbsp;</td><td>148&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>3050&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>25.8&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>139.7&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Ravi Bishnoi will be a Key Player:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ravi-Bishnoi.jpg" alt="Ravi Bishnoi for Lucknow Super Giants" class="wp-image-21679" width="700" height="415" title="Ravi Bishnoi for Lucknow Super Giants"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Ravi Bishnoi is the spin spearhead of the Lucknow Super Giants. He will have to make sure that the 4 overs of his are economical and if not economical, he needs to send maximum batters to the pavilion. Gautam Gambhir backs Ravi Bishnoi. He trusts this Rajasthani youngster's ability. Bishnoi is also tough to pick because he has a quick round-arm action similar to Rashid Khan. But Bishnoi?s stock delivery is the googly. 



He bowls the googly more than 50% of the time. The batters play for the conventional turn and get beaten. Ravi Bishnoi has slid down the ranks of the Indian Cricket Team since the arrival of Kuldeep Yadav and hence a good&nbsp;TATA IPL 2023 will do wonders for him. &nbsp;

Lucknow Super Giants: Top 3 Best Key Players to Play for Lucknow Super Giants&nbsp;in TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's fitness is one of the trending topics in Indian cricket. The speedster experienced back spasms during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. 
After bowling just 10 overs in the first innings in Sydney, Jasprit Bumrah walked off the field and underwent scans. He didn't take the field again as India was without their captain in the last innings of the match. This no doubt cost India but also sent a sense of scare among the Indian fans. 
Jasprit Bumrah didn't look in great shape either, and now his fitness has raised massive concerns over his availability for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because there is no clarity over the seriousness of the injury that the premier fast bowler has faced in his back during the match. 
As per the reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that Jasprit Bumrah will be consulting a personal doctor as well along with the BCCI medical team. The fast bowler will be having a chat with the doctor in New Zealand who operated on him during the back surgery he faced in 2022. 
It is learned once Jasprit Bumrah meets that doctor, there will be a lot of clarity over his injury. It will be the doctor only who will be deciding what the fast bowler has to do to return to action. This raises a lot of concern over his fitness, especially with big events like the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England.</h2>
Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England. This is because BCCI wanted the fast bowler to be fit and be at 100% for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the pacer remains unfit for the tournament, it will turn out to be a big blow for the team. 
The pain in the back for Jasprit Bumrah arises due to his workload in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler bowled 151 overs in the five games and picked 32 wickets. He gave his best for the side but ended up on the wrong side of the result. However, more than that his fitness was the main concern. 
Bumrah is very unlikely to play any T20I game this year, meaning that he won't be part of the T20I series against England. Another section of the reports added that he might play one ODI against Three Lions to get into the rhythm for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India spinner Varun Chakravarthy is in contention to be picked in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the BCCI has asked the selectors to keep an eye on the Kolkata Knight Riders spinner. 
Varun Chakravarthy has impressed the selectors and the BCCI with the way he made his comeback in the Indian setup after the IPL 2024. The mystery spinner set the stage on fire with the ball in the T20Is against Bangladesh as well as South Africa. 
In both series, Varun Chakravarthy turned out to be the game-changer for India. The mystery spinner helped India win both the series and was the key performer for the team. He was applauded a lot by fans and pundits for the way he made a comeback to India. 
The BCCI reportedly has told one of the selectors to watch the fitness, moments and progress of Varun Chakravarthy, who is playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The India spinner has been shining with the ball in the domestic tournament, making his case strong for the team. 
Varun Chakravarthy is making strong performances for Tamil Nadu in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The spinner has taken 13 wickets at an average of 13.62 in the tournament so far, and with the way he is going strong, he surely would've taken the interest of selectors. 
<h2>The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week</h2>
The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week. Before the tournament, India will be taking on England in the three-match ODI series. There are chances that Varun might be picked for that series. 
The mystery spinner is yet to make his debut for India in the ODIs. But with the kind of form he is going through, there are high chances that he might be picked in the England series and might even play in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Jasprit Bumrah has become the biggest match-winner for Team India across all three formats. He has been at the peak of his skills, and he has taken the graph of his performance to a whole new level. After winning the Man of the Tournament award in India's successful campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024, he recently ended as the top wicket-taker for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Bumrah ended with a record 32 wickets in five tests at an exceptional average of 13.06. But his performance went in vain as Australia won the series 3-1, and Australia regained the BGT trophy. Bumrah sustained a back spasm and didn't bowl in the second innings. That has raised concern in the Indian camp. There is no official update on his injury, and India might look to give them a proper rest.
But the biggest question is on his availability in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The upcoming event will start in five weeks time on February 19, and Jasprit Bumrah will be India's key man. India can't afford to miss him. But with his career on the line, India won't take a risk to hurry him. So, who will be the bowlers who can replace him for India, if he gets ruled out?
<h2>Three bowlers whom India can pick as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement if he gets ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
1. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has become India's go-to bowler in the T20I format, and he took the most wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. He played a crucial role along with Bumrah in India's triumph. But since his ODI debut in November 2022, he has played only 8 ODIs. But with the way he is going, India will certainly want to cash in on his form and bring the freshness of his left-arm swing to the table for the coming event.
2. Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna is another good option to have. He played in the fifth and final test at the SCG and took six wickets in the match. He has good pace, and his tall figure helps him to get bounce from the surface. India will play their matches in Dubai, where you want a bowler like him that can bounce the batter out. Krishna has an incredible ODI record as well. He has played 17 matches and taken 29 wickets at an average of 25.28. He can also be a good replacement for Jasprit Bumrah.
3. Mayank Yadav
India have three group matches, and then there are two more if they qualify for the finals. That means there can be a maximum of five games with proper rest in between the games. That is where India can unleash the raw pace of Mayank Yadav. The 22-year-old superstar made his name in the IPL 2025 for his sheer pace, which earned him his T20I debut. He has four wickets in three T20Is for India. Though he has not played an ODI game for India, he can be a great asset for the side. He can add his extra pace to the bowling unit of India, which will add new dimensions to the Indian attack.

Jasprit Bumrah didn't bowl in the final innings of the fifth test at SCG due to a back spasm. He is likely to miss the England series as well.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has come to an end, and now the focus will shift to the upcoming ICC event. The Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to be played between February 19 and March 9. This tournament will have the top 8 teams competing against each other while the host, Pakistan, will defend their title.
India will play their matches in Dubai, including the knockouts if they qualify. The squad for the coming event is likely to be announced by the end of the second week of January, and some reports confirm that India's ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah might be given a big responsibility.
Bumrah recently had a record-breaking performance in the BGT series, where he ended with 32 wickets and won the Player of the Series award. And now, he is set to be the vice-captain of Team India in the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah to assist Rohit Sharma as vice-captain for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Reports</h2>
Team India will host England for three ODIs and five T20Is ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as preparation for the mega event. Though there are high chances that India might rest Bumrah to manage his workload, he will be back for the ICC event as the vice captain of the team.
As per TOI, India are all set to announce the pacer as India's vice-captain for the event. That means Shubman Gill will be removed from this role, who was given this role during the ODI series in Sri Lanka. Bumrah has been one of India's consistent performers across all three formats. He was the MVP behind India's win in the T20 World Cup 2024 and also led India in the recently concluded BGT series in a couple of games.
There are high chances that he is likely to be the next Test captain after Rohit Sharma. He will be India's key player in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well, leading the bowling attack. India are likely to announce their provisional squad later this week for the coming ICC event. If Bumrah is rested for England series, he will be back in action for ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
