Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will most likely release captain KL Rahul excluding the fact that some sort of change comes in at the last minute.
In case this happens, LSG will have one right-to-match (RTM) card at the auction.
According to ESPNcricinfo, before the mega auctions set to begin next month, the franchise will retain Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Yadav, and Ravi Bishnoi along with Mohsin Khan and Ayush Badoni as uncapped players.
According to the retention slabs from IPL, it will cost LSG around INR 51 crore. If the cost of the 5 players goes above 51 crore, rest of the money will be taken from the franchise’s purse of INR 120 crore, which is given to build their squads for creating their squads in IPL 2025.
