Nicholas Pooran, who was bought for a whopping ₹16 CR, will bolster a superb line-up that possesses top all-rounders in Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis &amp; Krunal Pandya. The likes of Kyle Mayers, Daniel Sams, Romario Shepherd, Krishnappa Gowtham &amp; Prerak Mankad add significant depth to their all-rounders department.
With Ayush Badoni, Karan Sharma &amp; Manan Vohra also in the squad, they truly have put together a strong batting unit.
In the spin department, veteran Amit Mishra's expertise could have a significant impact while Ravi Bishnoi's mastery will be a tough test for batters.

With the added support of their home fans in Lucknow, don't be surprised if the Super Giants continue right from where they left off last season.

The love for LSG also found its way to the city's metro service, with the official announcement that metro trains will be available till 12:30 am on all days when day-night IPL matches will be played at the Ekana.

Big boost for Sports Ministry in Union Budget

The Union Budget 2023 brings up a big boost for the Sports Ministry in terms of revised allocations

The ministry's flagship programme, 'Khelo India -- National Programme for Development of Sports' continues to be the government's priority, with it being allotted Rs 1,045 crore.

&nbsp;In a year when the Indian athletes will compete at the Asian Games and prepare for 2024 Paris Olympics, the Sports Ministry has got a fillip with the government allocating Rs 3,397.32 crore, an increase of Rs 723.97 crore, in the Union Budget on Wednesday.
The amount is more than the revised budget of the previous financial year (2022-23) when the ministry received Rs 2,673.35 crore, as against the actual allocation of Rs 3,062.60 crore.
One of the reasons for the reduced revised allocation for 2022-23 could be the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be held this year.
An increase of Rs. 439 crore for Khelo India has brought the sports budget to a new high of Rs. 3,397.32 crore. Khelo India&rsquo;s budget of Rs. 1,045 crore accounts for just under a third of the total allocation as well.
