The UPT20 2024 league ended recently. A number of talented performers came through. Lucknow Super Giants could target a few players from the local league. Here, we take a look at the list of three top performers in the UPT20 2024 League whom LSG can target for IPL 2025.
1) Sameer Rizvi
Everyone is aware of the kind of talent that Sameer Rizvi has. It is just that the best did not happen at CSK for him. He is surely a talent to watch out for. He is probably the next big thing from Uttar Pradesh and LSG must ensure that they have him in the team.
While he could add tremendous value with the bat in the future, he also offers a future fulcrum for the squad. For a team with a growing fanbase, this is very much needed.
2) Swastik Chikara
Swastik Chikara is one of the top performers in the UPT20 2024 League whom LSG can target for IPL 2025. Delhi Capitals hired him for IPL 2024 but could not give him an opportunity. Nevertheless, he could be in demand for the next season, as well.
He finished as the highest run-getter for the season. He scored runs at a strike rate close to 190. That is impressive for a 19-year-old. It is the right time to invest in him and hence, he could be targeted by LSG.
3) Zeeshan Ansari
The nature of the EKANA track is to support spinners. Hence, it is always good to have someone who has enough experience playing at this venue.
Zeeshan did well in the competition. LSG might not retain Ravi Bishnoi. However, they might target him again. At the same time, they could have Zeeshan in their mind as a backup. His economy was good and that is one of the main reasons why LSG could trust him.
