LSG Full Squad, IPL 2026: Complete List Of Players Bought By Lucknow Super Giants

LSG Full Squad, IPL 2026: Lucknow Super Giants entered the Indian Premier League 2026 auction with a remaining purse of Rs 22.95 crore. Their first pick in the bidding war was Sri Lanka's spin-bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga. LSG bagged the player for his base price of Rs 2 crore, after finding no competition to their bid. He was released by Rajasthan Royals ahead of the auction. After shining in IPL 2022 with 26 wickets, the bowler failed to impress in the following two seasons. LSG still went for him as they were short of spinners after releasing Ravi Bishnoi. (Full List Of Sold, Unsold Players | IPL 2026 Auction Live Updates)
