The captain, KL Rahul, is the most dangerous player in the team. He can hit the ball in all parts of the ground and can pace his innings masterfully. Additionally, he has scored 500-plus runs in the last five seasons, making him the core batter of his team.
Another opening batter, Quinton De Kock, will be a player to watch out for. He can score runs quickly and also make big scores, helping his team gain momentum and stability. The South African will be a big asset for LSG in 2023.
Deepak Hooda will be looking to make a big impact in the upcoming season. After getting a few matches to play for the Indian team, Hooda will be looking to impress the Indian selectors by showing his batting prowess alongside his bowling aptitude.
The young leg-break bowler, Ravi Bishnoi, will be lethal against the opposition batters. After getting rejected for the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup, Bishnoi will be looking to surpass his previous performances and hope to get selected in the upcoming Cricket World Cup. With his brilliant game awareness, Bishnoi is an important wicket-taker for the team.
The young quickie, Mohsin Khan, is an important asset for his ability to bowl at both ends of an innings. He can bowl great fast and slow balls, and also mix them accordingly to fool the batter. Being a powerplay bowler, he had an impressive economy rate of below 6 runs per over. This time around, he will try to pick more wickets and get selected for the Indian team.
