Meanwhile, KL Rahul, who captained LSG for two years since their IPL debut, has moved to Delhi Capitals. There, he will play a crucial role as a key batsman, not as a captain, with Axar Patel taking on the leadership role. DC, like Mumbai Indians, had several options for captain, including Faf du Plessis, but chose the rising star Patel due to his growing career trajectory.
LSG, meanwhile, will be hopeful that their rich bank of Indian players mix up well with the overseas players to put together a string of wins. While Mitchell Marsh is available only as a specialist batter, LSG will hope for rich returns from the South African pair of David Miller and Aiden Markram.
In Nicholas Pooran, LSG have a perfect aggressive batter who can build innings as well as anchor chases, while Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad and Shahbaz Ahmed could be the other Indian batters.
