10. Lucknow Super Giants: Lack of Finishing Firepower

IPL 2026 LSG squad: Full Lucknow Super Giants players list after mini auction

A major concern for the Lucknow Super Giants is the absence of a proven finisher following the release of David Miller, leaving a noticeable gap in the lower middle order. Although Josh Inglis has been brought in for a significant fee, he is not widely regarded as a reliable match-finisher, which adds to the uncertainty.

The middle order also leans heavily on relatively inexperienced players like Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad, who will need to step up in crucial situations. Additionally, the team’s tendency to lose momentum after strong starts in IPL 2025 remains a lingering issue.
