Franchise history
The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League issued an invitation
to tender for two new sides in August 2021. A total of 22 companies declared an
interest but with a high base price for the new teams there were no more than
six serious bidders. The Board of Cricket Control in India allowed a consortium
of three companies or individuals to bid for each franchise. The Sanjiv
Goenka-owned RPSG Group won the rights to operate the Lucknow franchise with a
bid of over Rs 7,090 crore.[2][3]
The team launched a competition to decide its name, from which the name
Lucknow Super Giants was chosen in January 2022.[4] Ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, the franchise drafted KL Rahul as
their captain, making him the joint highest paid player in the league. The
franchise also purchased Marcus Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi.[5]
