IPL 2025: Wanted Players Who Put Team Before Personal Goals, Says LSG Owner Goenka
After Lucknow Super Giants: After Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) announced their retentions in Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Ayush Badoni and Mohsin Khan, franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka said the team’s retention strategy was to keep players who put the side first ahead of their personal goals.
In the IPL 2025 retentions day, LSG let go of their captain KL Rahul, thus ending their three-year association with the right-handed batter. Instead of him, Pooran is their biggest retention at INR 21 crore, followed by Bishnoi and Mayank at INR 11 crore each, before Badoni and Mohsin were retained at INR 4 crore respectively.
“The first retention was an automatic choice and happened within two minutes, that is Nicholas Pooran. We had a very simple mindset to go in with players who have a mindset to win, who put the team before their personal goals and aspirations.”
