IPL 2024: Nicholas Pooran Appointed Vice-Captain of LSG as KL Rahul’s Availability Appears Doubtful
Nicolas Pooran has been appointed as the vice-captain of Lucknow Super Giants.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have appointed Nicolas Pooran as their vice-captain for the upcoming 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, replacing Krunal Pandya, who held the position for the past two years.
Nicolas Pooran has proven himself as a reliable captain, steering MI Emirates to triumph in the ILT20 and leading MI New York to victory in the first season of the MLC, a T20 league based in the USA.
Lucknow Super Giants Track Record in IPL
Lucknow Super Giants, newcomers to the Indian Premier League since 2022, have consistently reached the playoffs in the past two seasons but fell short of claiming the title. As they enter the upcoming season, they are determined to seize the championship.
KL Rahul Availability for IPL 2024
Lucknow Super Giants’ captain KL Rahul has travelled to London for treatment of a quadriceps injury sustained during the first test against England. His availability for the IPL remains uncertain. Promoting Nicolas Pooran to vice captain appears a strategic move, potentially positioning him for captaincy should Rahul’s recovery prolong.
