Shreyas Iyer

[{"selector":"#anim-f80fa7e7-fc8d-4c53-b5ef-75f37aad00ec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-14.48427687352254%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] LSG can look at Iyer as a potential replacement for KL Rahul in case they are aiming for an Indian captain with big- hitting ability. Recently, he has proven his worth by scoring 233 in a Ranji game.

Yuzvendra Chahal

[{"selector":"#anim-0803cb50-d5d6-424e-9927-6d2e7788c0f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-46b8e871-b11a-4535-ac7c-ae5ce46d85ab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e3681420-aa64-4d0f-8a93-c546ddd615b4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(17.94258373205743%, -22.701393328038165%) scale(1.4545454545454546)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-0a0d9cc6-2f1f-4c61-8606-23076698dfbd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.9116322069402862%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] With Ravi Bishnoi being the only retained spinner, an addition of an experienced leggie like Yuzi can be LSG's target in the IPL 2025 auction.

Trent Boult

[{"selector":"#anim-9bb1e7cc-9b90-4df6-8cc6-65e6d78cef42","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-610a8ae1-804a-4b5e-9aa9-996362a07087","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6b63729b-7313-47b6-8ffb-f65e8211af6c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.023574346437676752%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-509af8e0-dc1c-4d6b-b363-914d93b6b832 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.107095998380956%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Due to the release of David Willey, Shamar Joseph and Matt Henry, LSG needs a skilful overseas pacer and Boult might be their pick for IPL 2025.

Washington Sundar

[{"selector":"#anim-4e88afe1-8fcb-4583-9a28-a45151af03ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2af143b6-0931-433d-9b53-35b551bc1e21","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07f84303-7ef8-4c4a-8b34-0305774af495 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0.0000010279605207456786%, -22.727269969108878%) scale(1.4545454545454546)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In another possibility, LSG might want Krunal back through RTM.
