    IPL 2026: 'They're Dependent Heavily On Overseas Batters,' Balaji Flgs Concerns Over LSG's Tactical Leadership

    Lucknow Super Giants: Former Indian bowler Lakshmipathy Balaji flags concerns over Lucknow Super Giants being heavily reliant on their overseas batters in top-order, suggesting that Indian talents -- Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad and skipper Rishabh Pant -- can do the heavy lifting for the side in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, commencing on March 28.

    Following a disappointing seventh-place finish in the 2025 season, the Pant-led side will be hopeful to claim their maiden title. Lucknow, meanwhile, didn’t make any radical changes to its squad during the mini-auction. Apart from investing in young talents like Arjun Tendulkar. In the overseas category, the team bid on Josh Inglis and Matthew Breetzke.

    "The top order, especially with Marsh, Aiden Markram, and of course Pooran, is stacked. They have given solid starts and out-batted the opposition on multiple occasions last season. The concerns were the bowling, the captaincy, and the tactical side of the leadership group. They definitely depend heavily on their overseas trio of batters," Balaji told Jio Hotstar.
