IPL 2022: Lucknow Team Predicted Players List, Captain, Coach, Home Ground info : Rashtra News
But
the
whole
squad
building
will
happen
in
the
IPL
auction
and
they
have
plenty
of
options
in
all
price
ranges
in
the
pool.
Here
we
are
looking
at
the
possible
squad
of
Lucknow
team
that
will
have
its
base
in
the
Atal
Bihari
Vajpayee
stadium.
1
Openers
KL
Rahul
(captain,
wicketkeeper):
Even
before
the
franchises
announced
their
released
and
retained
players
list,
Rahul
has
been
linked
with
this
new
team.
Rahul
will
be
definitely
a
great
pick
for
the
Lucknow
team
as
he
has
been
in
good
form,
evolving
into
a
very
good
player
and
a
mature
captain.
Even
when
Punjab
Kings
hit
a
trough
in
IPL
2021,
he
led
them
without
losing
the
composure.
Of
course,
he
can
also
don
the
wicketkeeping
gloves,
adding
good
dose
of
flexibility
to
the
playing
11.
Shikhar
Dhawan:
Dhawan
was
Delhi’s
capital’s
highest
run-getter
in
the
season,
making
587
runs
with
three
fifties
but
they
chose
to
retain
his
partner
Prithvi
Shaw.
Perhaps,
it
was
a
call
taken
considering
the
long-term
option
Shaw
provides.
But
a
team
like
Lucknow
could
do
well
to
add
someone
like
Dhawan
at
the
top
order,
who
has
oodles
of
experience.
Yes,
it
gives
that
priceless
left-right
option
at
the
pole
position
too.
No
3:
Manish
Pandey:
Manish
was
let
go
by
the
Sunrisers
Hyderabad
side
but
he
remains
a
very
good
T20
player
and
comes
with
a
dollops
of
experience
in
IPL.
After
all
he
is
the
first
India
batsman
to
notch
up
a
hundred
in
the
event.
Leading
Karnataka
seemed
to
have
bolstered
his
confidence
and
attitude
and
at
No
3
Manish
gives
a
team
a
solid
presence.
No
4:
Nitish
Rana:
Rana
is
an
experienced
IPL
campaigner
who
has
had
some
good
moments
with
the
Kolkata
Knight
Riders.
Even
in
IPL
2021,
he
was
their
third
highest
run-getter
with
383
runs
with
two
fifties.
He
packs
a
punch
and
can
control
the
middle-order
with
maturity.
No
5:
Shimron
Hetmyer:
Just
don’t
get
fooled
by
that
242
runs
in
14
matches
for
Delhi
Capitals.
The
West
Indian
left-hander
made
those
runs
at
a
stunning
strike-rate
of
168.
His
knocks
deep
down
the
order,
he
often
came
at
No
6,
made
the
difference
between
a
middling
total
and
a
healthy
one
for
DC.
He
can
explode
without
warning
and
Hetmyer
can
further
flourish
if
he
has
given
some
more
stability
in
the
batting
order.
No
6:
Shahrukh
Khan:
The
Tamil
Nadu
batsman
had
made
a
good
impression
with
the
Punjab
Kings
with
his
ability
to
clear
boundaries
at
will.
The
last
ball
six
he
made
against
Karnataka
in
the
Syed
Mushtaq
Ali
Trophy
only
might
have
increased
his
value
going
into
the
auction.
But
Lucknow
can
add
bit
of
a
firepower
down
the
order
through
the
young
SRK.
No
7:
Chris
Jordan:
Despite
that
18th
over
horror
against
New
Zealand
in
the
T20
World
Cup
2021,
the
England
pacer
remains
a
good
T20
option.
He
has
good
variations,
a
deceptive
bouncer
and
can
occasionally
ramp
up
the
pace.
Jordan
also
is
a
handy
batter
down
the
order.
No
8:
Rashid
Khan:
Like
KL
Rahul,
Rashid’s
name
has
also
been
linked
to
the
Lucknow
franchise.
There
is
no
other
cricketer
who
is
in
more
demand
in
T20
cricket
than
this
Afghan.
As
a
bowler,
Rashid’s
variations
are
endless
and
can
contribute
handy
runs
down
the
order.
He
is
a
smart
fielder
on
the
out
field
too.
The
Lucknow
team
will
have
to
shell
out
a
fortune
to
acquire
his
services
but
it
will
be
worth
every
penny
of
it.
No
9:
Harshal
Patel:
The
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
did
not
retain
the
Purple
Cap
winner
of
IPL
2021.
Harshal
subsequently
also
made
his
India
debut
and
now
will
be
a
hotly
pursued
commodity
in
the
IPL
auction.
Lucknow
will
have
to
ace
a
good
set
of
competitors
to
get
this
slow
ball
specialist.
No
10:
Kagiso
Rabada:
Rabada
was
let
go
by
the
Delhi
Capitals
after
a
below
par
season.
His
South
African
teammate
Anrich
Nortje
was
retained
by
the
DC
after
a
commendable
performance
in
the
IPL
2021.
A
change
of
den
could
infuse
fresh
energy
into
Rabada,
who
is
still
among
the
best
contemporary
bowlers.
If
Rabada
can
find
his
blistering
Yorkers
then
the
opposition
will
have
a
lot
to
worry
about.
11.
Yuzvendra
Chahal:
The
leg-spinner
was
off-loaded
by
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
after
a
few
seasons,
which
have
been
largely
successful,
with
them.
He
actually
had
a
good
IPL
2021
too,
taking
18
wickets
from
15
matches
at
an
economy
rate
of
7.
Chahal
could
still
be
lethal
in
T20
cricket
and
he
can
take
wickets
too
at
any
stage
of
the
game.
He
will
be
a
worthy
addition
to
the
Lucknow
squad,
a
proven
performer.
