The Lucknow Super Giants are the least experienced of all the four teams in this year’s playoffs. LSG, like the Gujarat Titans, made it to the Playoffs last year but was eliminated by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
LSG has finished third in the points table at the end of the IPL 2023 league stage. Stand-in-skipper Krunal Pandya-led franchise finished with 17 points from 14 matches, winning eight matches and losing four games; the one match against CSK was washed out due to rain.
