The buzz around the two new teams in the IPL is increasing by leaps and bounds. The talk around the teams is growing by the minute. Finally, some of the news outlets have broken the news of the recruitments done by the Lucknow IPL Team. The 3 players picked by the Lucknow IPL Team are KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, and Ravi Bishnoi. The prices of recruitment are also mentioned in this exclusive article. All the three players chosen are dependable and have a good track record. Here is a look:
Lucknow IPL Team has Chosen KL Rahul at 20 Crores:
The obvious choice for one of the two teams was KL Rahul. KL Rahul is expectedly picked by the Lucknow IPL Team for a whopping 20 Crore Indian Rupees. This makes KL Rahul likely, the most expensive pick in the history of the IPL. The right-hand bat can open the batting, keep wickets, and is captaincy material. Rahul is also an integral part of the leadership group of the Indian Cricket Team. His explosive strike rate of 140+ compliments his average of 35+ very well. KL Rahul will be the captain of the Lucknow Team.
Marcus Stoinis at 11 Crore Indian Rupees:
Marcus Stoinis, the star Australian all-rounder is picked by the Lucknow IPL Team. For the past two seasons, Marcus has been exceptional with the bat for the Delhi Capitals. Marcus Stoinis has proven his skill to the Indian Scouts. The fact that he bowls a few overs makes him a 3-D player. He is elite in fielding as well. Being from Australia, his fitness is never in question. Called the “Hulk” by his teammates, Marcus justifies the name with his performance. A strong individual off the field Marcus is a perfect choice.
Lucknow IPL Team has Chosen Ravi Bishnoi at 4 Crores:
Talk about smart moves by IPL Teams in the recent future. Ravi Bishnoi is an amazing pick. If the Lucknow Team would have gone for someone like Yuzi Chahal or Rahul Chahar, they would be priced above 10 Crore Indian Rupees. But they have chosen Ravi Bishnoi with the same skillset for half the price. What works in favor of Bishnoi is that many international players are not exposed to him. Bishnoi first burst on the scene with an impactful performance in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2020.
