In this article, we have collected information about the team that will allow you to get to know it better.
Lucknow Super Giants: team information
The Lucknow Super Giants cricket team is based in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The athletes’ performances take place in the Indian Premier League. The year of the franchise’s foundation is 2021.
The team is owned by RPSG Group, which previously owned the Rising Pune Supergiant franchise.
Lucknow Super Giants’ home ground is Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The arena was built in 2017, and its capacity is 50,000 people. By the way, this is the fifth largest international cricket stadium in India.
Lucknow Super Giants: a brief history of the team
As we have already said, the year of the foundation of Lucknow Super Giants was 2021. And the situation was like this. In August 2021, the Governing Board of the Indian Premier League published an invitation to tender for two new teams. 22 companies responded to this, but the base price was too high. In reality, there were no more than six applicants. As a result, the right to manage the franchise in Lucknow was won by the current owners of Lucknow Super Giants – RPSG Group.
Some time later, a competition was announced for the name of the team. In January 2022, its results became known, which you already know about.
Lucknow Super Giants spent their first season in the Indian Premier League more than successfully: the team took third place in the table, thanks to which it reached the playoffs. However, the athletes there failed to cope with Royal Challengers Bangalore, and LSG were eliminated from the tournament. Nevertheless, such a start means only one thing: the team will soon achieve gigantic success in cricket.
