Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are a professional franchise cricket team based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh that competes in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Founded in 2021, the team plays its home matches at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The team is owned by RPSG Group, who previously owned the Rising Pune Supergiant franchise between 2016 and 2017, and is captained by KL Rahul and coached by Justin Langer.
History
The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League issued an invitation to tender for two new sides in August 2021. A total of 22 companies declared an interest, but with a high base price for the new teams, there were no more than six serious bidders. The Sanjiv Goenka-owned RPSG Group won the rights to operate the Lucknow franchise with a bid of ₹7,090 crore (equivalent to ₹80 billion or US$1.0 billion in 2023).
The team launched a competition to decide its name, with Lucknow Super Giants chosen in January 2022.
