LSG IPL 2025 Retentions: Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi likely to play for Lucknow Super Giants next year after KL Rahul's exit
Nicholas Pooran will join the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the upcoming 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, ahead of the mega auction of the coveted annual cricket league.
The 29-year-old cricketer recently met with LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka at the RPSG House in Kolkata to finalise the terms of his contract.
Pooran will be the franchise's key retention, commanding a salary of Rs 18 crore, which marks him as the first official signing for the new season. His previous auction value was Rs 16 crore, when LSG acquired him in 2023 after his release from the Sunrisers Hyderabad, according to the Times of India.
During the last IPL season, Pooran showcased his prowess by scoring 499 runs, which included three half-centuries, and he demonstrated his power-hitting ability with 35 fours and 36 sixes, establishing himself as a leading performer for the team.
