3 Destructive Openers whom LSG can target at auction if KL Rahul bats in middle Order in IPL 2024

Lucknow Super Giants made their IPL debut in 2022 with the Gujarat Titans. LSG showed a pretty good performance under KL Rahul and made the playoffs for both seasons they have played. But recently, skipper KL Rahul confirmed that he is willing to bat in the middle order.

This decision has definitely opened up a few gaps at the top of the order. However, LSG already have Quinton de Kock, Kyle Mayers, and Devdutt Padikkal (traded in), who are good openers. But with the IPL 2024 auction coming up, there are chances that LSG will look to go after some openers. Here we will talk about three openers whom Lucknow can target for the coming IPL 2024 season.

Three Openers that LSG can target at the IPL 2024 auction to replace KL Rahul

3. Colin Munro (New Zealand)

Veteran Kiwi opener Colin Munro is also part of the auction. He has been in good form in the ongoing BBL 13 and started the tournament with a brilliant 99 not out. Munro will be available for INR 1.5 crore, is a powerful striker, and can be a good addition to this team. He has played 13 IPL matches in his career and has immense experience.

2. Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)

The Kiwi superstar Rachin Ravindra showed what he can do on Indian soil. He scored the most runs in his maiden World Cup edition and struck three sixes. Rachin is also a handy spinner who can be a pretty useful option in Lucknow, where the ball grips well. LSG can go after him, as he can give them an all-round option. Rachin is registered with a base price of INR 50 lakh.

1. Travis Head (Australia)

Travis Head will be the hot prospect at the IPL 2024 auction. If somehow LSG can get him, he will definitely solve a number of problems for them. Head is a free-flowing opener who likes to take on the opposition. He can win games single-handedly and is an impact player. Along with De Kock or Padikkal, he can make a brilliant pair. Adding to that, he is also a good spinner and can extract spin in Lucknow. Head is in the INR 2 crore category.
