We have roped in Kuldeep Yadav from the Delhi Capitals in a trade deal that saw our former captain Rishabh Pant move to the other side.

Bought at INR 27 crore in the TATA IPL 2025 mega auction, Rishabh Pant played 28 matches across the two seasons for LSG, amassing 581 runs, including a terrific unbeaten century against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Ekana in 2025.

Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav, who is now ready to play for the team hailing from his home state, has bagged 112 wickets in 110 TATA IPL matches while featuring for his previous franchises.

The southpaw now joins our potent bowling department alongside the likes of Manimaran Siddhart and Digvesh Rathi, among other spinners, bolstering the spin bowling arsenal.

Kuldeep bhai, welcome to the Lucknow Super Giants! We cannot wait to see you weave your magic on the field and taste success with us.

On behalf of the Super Giants family, we thank Rishabh Pant for his contributions and commitment throughout his tenure with us and wish him the best for his future.
