LSG IPL 2025 Squad, Captain, Expensive Players, and RTM Retentions after Day 1 and Day 2 of the Auctions
On Day 1, LSG, who looked clear with their plans, aggressively pursued Rishabh Pant, who was once sold to them at INR 21.75 Crores, and then Delhi Capitals used RTM on him. Further, LSG came aggressively and inflated the price to INR 27 Crores, which left Delhi Capitals management with no options other than leaving their skipper.
Rishabh Pant will most likely be LSG’s skipper, along with Pant LSG has also strengthened its middle order by including David Miller at INR 7.5 Crores. Further, they added Mitchell Marsh, Markram, and Samad to enhance the batting department. Bowling lacks the presence of overseas specialists after Day 1.
