Lucknow Super Giants endure tough IPL 2025 season
Meanwhile, the 2025 IPL season turned out to be a nightmare one for Lucknow Super Giants, who finished in 7th place in the table. Despite the high-profile addition of Rishabh Pant for INR27 crore, the team failed to build momentum and delivered only a few good performances this season.
