However, they are yet to get their hands don’t the trophy.
While KL Rahul missed the 2023 IPL due to injury, he is most-likely to join the team ahead of IPL 2024. However, his current situation is still bleak with reports of him being sent to the UK for treatment. But with a fit KL Rahul as the leader, the batting lineup of Lucknow Super Giants seems unmatched. However, the same can’t be said about their bowling lineup as it lacks experience.
Overall, Lucknow Super Giants does have a solid squad that can once again land them up in Playoffs in IPL 2024. So, with just around a few weeks left for the kick-start of the tournament, let’s look at the best predicted playing 11 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for IPL 2024.

IPL 2024 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Best Playing 11
The biggest change that we will see in the Lucknow Super Giants playing 11 for IPL 2024 is their opening combination. After KL Rahul made it clear that he will play in the middle-order, Devdutt Padikkal’s trade-in from Rajasthan Royals makes so much sense. Padikkal was devoid of opening role in RR. But in LSG, he will definitely be opening the innings alongside Quinton de Kock.
With a confirmed top 2, Deepak Hooda should get an opportunity a number 3 ahead of Ayush Badoni or Prerak Mankad. With a solid top 3, what follows next is simply destruction in the form of KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis. Moreover, with Krunal Pandya at the number 7 position, needless to say, Lucknow Super Giants have one of the strongest batting lineups in the competition.
Talking about the bowling lineup for Lucknow Super Giants, things don’t look too good for LSG. With Mark Wood not there, LSG have Ravi Bishnoi as their best bowler. Other than Bishnoi, LSG have to rely on the inexperience of Mohsin Khan, Shivam Mavi, and Shamar Joseph. Joseph is a new addition to LSG’s pace arsenal, and can be a surprise package for LSG. In addition, Amit Mishra or Yash Thakur may play as an impact player for LSG.
