Lucknow Super Giants have ended their partnership with KL Rahul, who served as the team's captain for three seasons. As they head into the upcoming IPL 2025 auction, LSG will need to find a new leader. Along with this, there are several players who are expected to be targeted by the team. Here are five names to keep an eye on.

Washington Sundar: After being released by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Washington Sundar is expected to be a key target for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 auction. Apart from making valuable contributions with the bat, he has the ability to bowl a full four-over spell. Sundar's all-round skills make him a valuable asset. 

Trent Boult: Kiwi star pacer Trent Boult is one of the most successful bowlers in IPL history. His knack for taking crucial wickets during the powerplay makes him an attractive option for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 auction.

Yuzvendra Chahal is another player who could be a major target for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 auction. The senior leg-spinner impressed last season with Rajasthan Royals, taking 18 wickets. His ability to bowl effectively in both middle and death overs makes him a strong contender for Lucknow, particularly on the slow wickets at their home ground.

Phil Salt: Following KL Rahul's release, Lucknow Super Giants will be in search of an opening batsman. Phil Salt, who played a key role in KKR's championship win last season, could be a strong contender. In this year's IPL, Salt amassed 435 runs in 12 matches, with a strike rate of 182.

Naveen-ul-Haq: Lucknow Super Giants are expected to use their Right to Match card to secure Afghanistan's Naveen-ul-Haq. The pacer has been outstanding for LSG, claiming 25 wickets across two seasons, making him a key player they are keen to retain.
