IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Top 3 players Lucknow Super Giants should target for in the upcoming mini auction

2. Rahul Chahar

With Bishnoi's confirmed release, LSG urgently requires a strong, established Indian leg-spinner to lead their home spin attack. Rahul Chahar, a frequent tournament performer, is the leading candidate. Chahar is prominent for his control, ability to take wickets in the middle overs, and impressive economy rate. 

Targeting him guarantees that LSG acquires an experienced domestic spinner capable of handling the pressure of bowling in the critical middle portion of the innings, adding depth to their bowling repertoire. In 79 IPL games, he has taken 75 wickets at a respectable economy rate of 7.72.
