Another season of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> reached its conclusion on May 29 (Sunday). Both the new franchises LSG and GT exceeded expectations by qualifying for the playoffs, with the Hardik Pandya-led side winning the tournament in its maiden season. All teams went into the mega auction in 2022 with a clear strategy to build a team that will take them forward in the next decade. While some franchises succeeded in doing so, historically successful teams like CSK and MI found it tough.

Many players lived up to the hype, while a few others emerged as exciting prospects. Lucknow was one such franchise that was built superbly by Gautam Gambhir and Andy Flower. Few fresh talents were also unearthed like Mohsin Khan and Ayush Badoni. However, some didn’t live up to the expectations or couldn’t get a game this IPL.

Here is a list of 3 such players that LSG might release going into the next IPL:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-630945" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Manish-Pandey-3.jpg" alt="Manish Pandey" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-630945" class="wp-caption-text">Manish Pandey.

Manish Pandey was bought by LSG for INR 4.6 crore after being released by Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was evident that he got the trust of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/well-come-back-stronger-gautam-gambhir-after-lsgs-exit-from-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gautam Gambhir</a> based on his successful stint with KKR when he was the captain. A middle-order batter who has delivered big in the past, including a match-winning knock in an IPL final, was a shadow of himself in this IPL.

It has been a turbulent year for Manish as he has now lost his place in the Indian team as well. LSG initially chose the right-hander to bat at three for the franchise, but a string of failures meant that he had to make way for other players. In all, Manish Pandey only managed 88 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 110 without any half-century.

The fact to note is that LSG didn’t suffer much despite his failures. Deepak Hooda stepped up in a big way scoring over 451 runs and delivering consistently. The emergence of Ayush Badoni is also a positive for the franchise. Considering the price tag of Manish Pandey, it looks likely that LSG will release him for another solid middle-order batter who can bridge the gap between KL Rahul at the top and Hooda and Stoinis in the middle to take the franchise forward.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-462450" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Ankit-Singh-Rajpoot.jpg" alt="Ankit Singh Rajpoot" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-462450" class="wp-caption-text">Ankit Singh Rajpoot. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Ankit Rajpoot is a tall fast bowler from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. He has been a part of the IPL for some time now but has hardly got enough chances to showcase his skills properly. Having last played the IPL in 2020, Rajpoot was picked up by Lucknow for INR 50 lakh.

Rajpoot has played for CSK, KKR, KXIP (now Punjab Kings), and RR in the past. While he has shown promise to succeed at this level, inconsistency has always been his biggest enemy. Lucknow already has a settled bowling line-up with a combination of Indian and overseas players.

They have the variety of a fast-bowling allrounder in Jason Holder, and a pacer in Dushmantha Chameera. Indian quicks like Avesh Khan and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-umran-malik-mohsin-khan-dinesh-karthik-on-selection-radar-for-the-south-africa-t20is/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohsin Khan</a> have also performed splendidly throughout the season. It looks further unlikely that Rajpoot will get a game anytime soon, thus it looks likely they might release him and try to plug another hole in their squad.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-625374" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Andrew-Tye-2.jpg" alt="Andrew Tye" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-625374" class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Tye. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Andrew Tye is another veteran who was picked this IPL as a replacement for Mark Wood. He has been successful in the IPL in the past and comes with a good reputation. He has previously represented <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stop-looking-at-me-and-bowl-csk-throwdown-specialist-reveals-first-meeting-with-ms-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CSK</a>, RR, GL, and PBKS. His most successful years in the IPL came when he played for the Gujarat Lions and the Punjab Kings in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Tye was picked into the playing XI early in the season. However, he proved ineffective in the three games he played for the franchise, picking just two wickets and going at over 9.5 runs per over. He was dropped later. Meanwhile, LSG has good options in Chameera and Holder to bank on.

Tye is not getting any younger now and is no longer a part of the Australian T20 side either. He is 35-years-old already and looks unlikely to play cricket much longer. He was picked for INR 1 crore as a replacement and might not be retained next year. LSG might look to get back Wood, but considering it is an Ashes summer next year with the World Cup, later on, they might opt for an overseas cover for him.
