LSG Full Squad (Lucknow Super Giants), IPL 2026 Auction: Full Team List After the Auction

IPL 2026, Lucknow Super Giants Team Full Squad: Lucknow‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Super Giants (LSG) are restarting the IPL 2026 campaign with a restructured team, carefully chosen retentions, and a few trades made with the goal to improve both the batting and the fast-bowling departments. The franchise has not only maintained its vital core but also made a lot of moves, among which the high-profile trade of Mohammad Shami stands out, to ensure that the lineup is both experienced and pace-led. After‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ a disheartening 7th position finish in 2025, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were in need of a strategic reset before the 2026 season. Retaining the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, who was kept on for a whopping ₹27 crore, the franchise focused on tactical "steals" and high-impact overseas talent at the Abu Dhabi auction. They decided to invest the most in the auction to bring Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis on board with a ₹8.60 crore deal so as to iron out the middle-order rhythm problem. They were able to grab the world-class stars Wanindu Hasaranga and Anrich Nortje at their respective base prices of ₹2 crore each in a brilliant move of minimal expenditure without sacrificing quality. Besides that, LSG were also busy in the trade market, shaking things up by obtaining the services of veteran pacer Mohammed Shami and the adaptable Arjun Tendulkar. With a strong core lead by Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Yadav, and Mitchell Marsh, the 2026 LSG squad is a lot more balanced and looks like a team that will be back in the playoffs ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌soon. Here is the full post-auction detailed guide that includes the LSG overview, the retained players, the released list, and the squad ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌status.
