Preparations for the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL have started. Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants i.e. LSG has announced the captain and vice-captain of its team. Although no major or shocking decision has been taken by the team management regarding the captaincy, there has been a change in the responsibility of the vice-captain. Like the last two seasons, this time too KL Rahul will be the captain of Lucknow Super Giants. At the same time, West Indies wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran is going to take the responsibility of vice-captain in IPL 2024.
Lucknow Super Giants have given this information through an X post on Thursday 29th February. He has shared a photo of KL Rahul and Nicholas Puran. Nicholas Puran's nickname Nikki P is written in the T-shirt that both of them are holding. VC is written below that. At the same time, in the caption also it has been clearly written by LSG that Captain is KL Rahul and his deputy will be Vice Captain Nicholas Puran. However, last year the vice-captain of the team was Krunal Pandya, who also took charge of the team after the injury to KL Rahul.
Talking about Lucknow Super Giants, the team entered IPL in the year 2022 season. Both times the team had qualified for the playoffs. Both times the team finished the league phase of the tournament by finishing third and played the team eliminator. However, both times the team had to face defeat in the eliminator match. In the 2022 season, LSG were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore, while in the 2023 season, Mumbai Indians won the eliminator match. In such a situation, this season will be special for the team, because KL Rahul is going to play the entire season.
