LSG IPL 2026 Squad: Lucknow Super Giants Full List of Players, Auction Buys with Price

Lucknow Super Giants entered the IPL 2026 auction with six vacant spots on their roster and walked away satisfied after ticking off most of their targets by the end of the proceedings.

Their most eye-catching move was the acquisition of Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis, for whom the franchise invested a hefty ₹8.6 crore, even though he is set to be available for only a limited number of matches in the upcoming season.

LSG also bolstered their overseas contingent by bringing in Wanindu Hasaranga and Anrich Nortje, managing to snap up both stars at their respective base prices of ₹2 crore. On the domestic front, the franchise added Akshat Raghuwanshi, Mukul Choudhary and Naman Tiwari to strengthen squad depth. In addition to their auction activity, Lucknow remained proactive in the trade window, successfully roping in high-profile Indian names Mohammed Shami and Arjun Tendulkar.

Looking ahead to IPL 2026, the Super Giants appear to have put together a well-rounded squad. The opening combination of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram remains intact, while leadership duties are expected to continue under Rishabh Pant. One of the intriguing subplots of the season will be whether Arjun Tendulkar earns regular opportunities in the playing XI.

The bowling unit has received a significant boost with the inclusion of Hasaranga's spin prowess and Nortje's express pace, though the team's overall balance will depend heavily on the fitness of speedster Mayank Yadav. Meanwhile, the franchise will be counting on young talents such as Ayush Baroni and Digvesh Rathi to provide consistent performances throughout the campaign.
