Lucknow Super Giants: IPL side Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have begun discussions on their retention ahead of the November 15 deadline, said franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka. In 2025, LSG, led by India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, finished at seventh place with six wins coming from 14 games.

The Lucknow-based franchise had made the knockouts in their first two IPL seasons in 2022 and 2023 respectively. “IPL retention talks for @LucknowIPL are underway. Delighted to have @TomMoodyCricket on board, bringing immense experience and strategic insight. Great discussion with @RishabhPant17, Justin Langer, and Bharat Arun as we plan for the season ahead,” wrote Goenka on his ‘X’ account on Thursday.

Also seen in the picture are Goenka’s son and LSG co-owner Shashwat Goenka and team analyst Shrinivas Chandrashekaran. Post their lackluster time in IPL 2025, LSG made quite a few changes to their coaching staff; while Langer retained his job, Bharat Arun was brought in as the bowling coach while Carl Crowe came in as the spin bowling coach.
