The Lucknow Super Giants have had a great start to IPL 2024, placing themselves in the third spot on the points table. However, the side has faced struggles as the season progressed ahead, and they failed to make it to the knockout stage for the first time in the last three years.
The side has ended the season with just seven wins out of the 14 matches. They must be looking to improve some areas from their last year’s edition to bolster their IPL 2025 campaign. In the same vein, here are the three areas of concern that they need to work on to improve in IPL 2025.
Need for improvement in pace attack in death overs
The side has the best batters on their side, including the likes of KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran. However, the side has faced difficulties during the pace bowling attack in the death overs.
It has been seen that despite having pacers with the likes of Shivam Mavi, Shamar Joseph, Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Yash Thakur, the side has struggled to take wickets and concede many runs and allowed opponents to score huge in the death overs. They need to improve this heading for the IPL 2025 season.
Need to bolster the spin department.
The side has the best and most talented spinners, like Amit Mishra and Ravi Bishnoi, who have showcased their great performance in the IPL 2024 and scalped wickets consistently. Notably, the side has showcased flashes of brilliance, but they weren’t consistent with their performance.
In IPL 2025, they need a strategy to put pressure on the opponents, which can help them win the matches.
Need to gain their home advantage.
The side had the winning numbers when they batted first on their IPL home ground, Ekana Lucknow Stadium. The LSG was able to defend their total here. However, they struggled while chasing down the totals. They need to use their strategy with bowling and batting performance to at least win their matches on their home ground.
