The Lucknow Super Giants team has formed a squad of 24 players for IPL 2025. To buy these players, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka spent a lot of money during the mega auction. However, he has not yet announced the new captain of this team. But now this wait of the fans is going to end because Sanjiv Goenka is going to name the leader of the team soon. For this, he is going to hold a special press conference, the date of which has been revealed. Now the question is whether after KL Rahul's departure, he will hand over the command to Rishabh Pant or someone else will take his place.

The captain will be announced on this day.

According to the report, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka will hold a special press conference on Monday, January 20. During this, he will reveal the name of the player who will lead the team in IPL 2025. He had spent Rs 27 crore for Pant in the mega auction. It is believed that Pant can replace KL Rahul. He can be given the command of the team. Earlier, he has also captained the Delhi Capitals. That is why he is considered the biggest contender.

However, Nicholas Pooran is also a contender for this post. There were also reports of him being made the captain. LSG has retained Pooran for IPL 2025 by paying the highest amount of Rs 18 crore. Not only this, he was also the vice-captain of the team last season. Apart from this, he has experience of captaining West Indies in international matches. At the same time, he has also captained in the Caribbean Premier League. That is, there is a claim for captaincy between Pant and Pooran. But it remains to be seen who the team owner chooses from the two players.

Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Avesh Khan, Abdul Samad, Aryan Juyal, Akash Deep, Shahbaz Ahmed, Akash Singh, Shamar Joseph, Prince Yadav, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Arshin Kulkarni, Matthew Breetzke, Himmat Singh, M.
