Will be sharing my thoughts on the squad of every IPL team after the recently concluded auction and if they have improved or not from the previous seasons on paper. Team 1 is Lucknow Supergiants.

Strengths:
LSG in KL, QdK, Hooda, Pooran & Stoinis have a very good Top 5 when it comes to skill. Their bowling and various all rounders make sure that balance will never be their issue. They are one team that can make do without the impact player rule.

Concerns:
For 3 seasons in a row, some would argue it's 4, KL Rahul has not batted the way he can. And that has had it's cascading effects. Apart from that, Stoinis's usage with the bat was poor by LSG last season. And their bowling didn't deliver as well as it should have.
Threats:
Mohsin hasn't played a game since the eliminator. Bishnoi wasn't being his usual self (I have spoken on this at 'length'). And Mark Wood lasting a full season is always doubtful. LSG have Naveen-ul-Haq as a back up for him.

I hope LSG give chances to these two players who have been lighting up the domestic stage. Will look forward to these two players.
PApart from the XI that has been mentioned here, another combination that LSG can try is leave out QdK, open with Manan Vohra instead & and have Daniel Sams in for a bowler. K Gowtham is another player they can look at an Impact Player substitution.
I have Prerak Mankad in the XI ahead of Badoni because he offers bowling option and has been consistent at the domestic level. When LSG are chasing a total they can use Badoni as an impact player. Bowling 2nd they can bring any of their bowlers for a batter.
