Build the all-time Lucknow Super Giants XI
Lucknow Super Giants has 100 player-seasons across 5 years of Indian T20 history (2022–2026). Spin their seasons, draft eleven across the club's whole history within the 125 Cr purse, and simulate sixteen matches. Can the all-time Lucknow Super Giants XI go a perfect 16-0?
The club in the book
Lucknow Super Giants arrived in 2022, made the playoffs in each of their first two seasons, and their five-year shelf is the story of two batting identities. The first is KL Rahul's accumulation: his 616-run 2022 is the club's highest-rated season, though at 23.6 Cr it is also one of the priciest tickets in the modern pool. The second is Nicholas Pooran's violence — 499 runs at a strike rate of 178 in 2024, then 524 at 196 in 2025, the loudest short-format hitting on the shelf.
The value lives with the young quicks. Mohsin Khan's 2022 — 14 wickets at an economy of 5.96 for 0.28 Cr — is the bargain of the franchise, and Ravi Bishnoi's 16-wicket 2023 costs almost nothing. With 80 playable seasons the pool is small, so a Lucknow all-time XI is less about finding hidden depth and more about deciding how much of the purse one Rahul or one Pooran season deserves.

FAQ
How many Lucknow Super Giants player-seasons are draftable?
80 playable player-seasons across five years, 2022 to 2026. The club made the playoffs in both of its first two seasons, and that 2022 debut roster remains the deepest Lucknow season in the pool.
What is the highest-rated Lucknow season in the game?
KL Rahul's 2022 — 616 runs at a strike rate of 135. At 23.6 Cr it demands nearly a fifth of the purse, which makes Nicholas Pooran's cheaper, faster-scoring 2024 and 2025 seasons the interesting alternative at the top of a Lucknow draft.
Which Lucknow season is the deepest to spin?
The 2022 debut season — Rahul's runs, Quinton de Kock's 508-run keeper year and Mohsin Khan's near-free 14 wickets in one roster. It rates ahead of every later Lucknow year in the pool.
