This season is one of the biggest positivity for Lucknow, Nicholas Gorn, which was maintained by the franchise for a gain of Rs 21 crore. He certainly justified his price tag, 357 runs at an average of 59.50 and a shocking strike rate of 208.77. Gorn is the backbone of LSG batting line-up.

Another big plus Mitchell is Marsh, which has given concrete support to Gorn. Marsh has an average of 295 runs on an average of 49.16 and a strike rate of 171.51. Impressively, he has hit four fifties in just six matches this season – considering a significant leap that there were only three IPL half -centuries before this season.
Who is that IPL player?
On the bowling front, the uncapricated player Digvesh Rathi has emerged as a bright place. He has taken 9 wickets in an average 23.11 and 7.42 influential economy. Shardul Thakur has also pasted an average 11 wickets of 24.90, although it has been a bit expensive with the 10.96 economy. He currently ranks third on the Purple Cap Leaderboard.

Rishabh Pant, which was the most expensive signature of LSG for Rs 27 crore, has fought to influence this season. He has managed an average of 103 runs and 104 strike rates of 17.17 on an average – including a scratch 63 against CSK, where he was not really in the rhythm.
In addition to the pants, clicking on the rest of the middle order of LSG is yet to be clicked. Players like David Miller and Ayush Badoni did not have much time for the game, and when they did, they could not count it.
Playoff probability
If they maintain their current look then there is a solid shot in making LSG into the top four. Winning 4 out of the remaining 7 matches should be enough to secure a playoff berth. But a big question remains – can they go beyond it and really pick up the trophy this time?
