David Miller has been brought in to bolster the middle order, while South African Tristan Stubbs is also part of the squad. Due to injury, Mitchell Starc will miss the opening match; however, Delhi’s bowling attack remains formidable. The team possesses two proven match-winners in captain Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Joining them is Lungi Ngidi, who was in tremendous form during the T20 World Cup.

LSG vs DC Live Score: Lucknow’s Batting Looks Stronger
Fast bowler Mohsin Khan is making a comeback after recovering from an injury, while Prince Yadav has also impressed with his medium-pace bowling. Spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi left a lasting impression with his performance in his debut season last year and will be looking to replicate that success. Compared to their bowling unit, Lucknow’s batting lineup appears to be the stronger suit. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram form one of the most dangerous opening pairs in the IPL. Pant, who failed to make a significant impact at number four last season, had previously scored a century while batting at number three. He is set to bat at the number three position, while Nicholas Pooran will play at number four.

Last year—his debut season with the Lucknow franchise—Pant failed to live up to expectations in his dual role as captain and star batsman.

This year, however, he has a fully fit squad at his disposal, and the bowling attack has been significantly strengthened by the arrival of experienced bowlers such as Mohammed Shami and Anrich Nortje. The injury-prone fast bowler Mayank Yadav has worked extensively on his fitness over the past year, and Lucknow will be hoping that he lives up to the faith the team has placed in him.
