Last season, Krunal Pandya assumed leadership duties in Rahuls absence, guiding the team to commendable performances. However, the Justin Langer led-team management felt that Nicholas Pooran will be more suitable for the role, as the West Indies batsman has led his team in white ball formate.Reflecting on last seasons performance under Krunals leadership, LSG secured victories in three out of six matches. This season, with Pooran stepping into the vice-captaincy role, LSG aims to harness their potential and clinch their maiden IPL title.What has changed in LSGs team managementLSGs aspirations for IPL 2024 are further fortified by strategic reinforcements and coaching enhancements. With the appointment of Justin Langer as head coach and notable additions such as Devdutt Padikkal, Shivam Mavi, David Willey, M Siddharth, and Shamar Joseph, LSG presents a formidable lineup. Why has LSG changed the batting order of KL RahulOne of the intriguing aspects of LSGs campaign this year is the tactical shift in KL Rahuls batting position. After opening the innings in the previous seasons, Rahul is set to anchor the middle order, which will add a new dimension to LSGs batting strategy.As the countdown to IPL 2024 begins, LSGs revamped squad, under the leadership duo of KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran, holds promise for an exhilarating season ahead.Lucknow Super Giants full squad for IPL 2024KL Rahul (c), Nicholas Pooran (vc), Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ayush Badoni, Devdutt Padikkal, Ashton Turner, David Willey, Shamar Joseph, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mohsin Khan, Amit Mishra, Yudhvir Charak, Prerak Mankad, Shivam Mavi, Yash Thakur, Arshin Kulkarni, M Siddharth, Arshad Khan
