Rishabh Pant's men have struggled for form and consistency and are already eliminated from playoff contention in IPL 2026. Their elimination in 2026 marks the third consecutive year that they have been eliminated in the group stages of the IPL.
The Lucknow Super Giants lost 6 matches in a row in the middle stages of IPL 2026 and eventually became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. Now, they have hit a mini-resurgence by winning 2 of their last 3 matches. In total, the Super Giants are in tenth place on the points table with 4 wins in 12 matches.
"If they're put in the playoffs, they can win the IPL" - Ambati Rayudu
Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, Ambati Rayudu said that LSG's current form is among the best across all teams in the league. He also said that if this current side were to be inserted into the playoffs, they would go on to win the IPL in their current form.
"They've just come into some tremendous form. Inglis coming into the XI has made it so much better. He looks so stable. He's stabilized the whole batting order around him. I think even Pooran is getting into a little bit of form, but they look very dangerous," he said.
"Lucknow, if they play to their potential, are way ahead of RR at the moment. It's just unfortunate that they could not do it at the start of the season. So I think Lucknow are favourites for me," he continued.
Lucknow Super Giants' upcoming schedule in IPL 2026
They will play the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Tuesday before moving to their home base in Lucknow to face the Punjab Kings on May 23. These matches are essentially must-win affairs for both RR and PBKS.
