LSG's Previous Set Of Players Featured In 3 Seasons, 2 Playoffs

As LSG rebuild with the mega auction lined up later this year, it is pertinent to note LSG have featured in 3 season so far, going on to play the Playoffs in two of them. 2024 was the only season they did not make it to the final four but with only limited retentions available, most of that bunch have to go back to the auction pool including captain Rahul.

In IPL 2024, LSG finished seventh on the points table with 7 wins from 14 matches. It was a season where four teams finished at 14 points with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) heading into the Playoffs with 14 points because of a superior net run rate (NRR), suggesting LSG did not miss out by much.
