Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) get a boost ahead of their next IPL 2025 fixture as Akash Deep has joined the camp. The franchise has shared a video of the star Indian pacer’s arrival on social media with a caption: “Akash Deep is in the house” 💙
Why has Akash Deep missed the initial games for LSG?
Akash Deep is likely to be available for their upcoming match against Mumbai Indians (MI). Due to a back injury that he picked up during the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, he missed the initial games for LSG as Akash Deep has not played a game since December 2024.
For what price did LSG acquire Akash Deep?
LSG acquired the services of Akash Deep for ₹8 crore at the IPL 2025 auction, fending off competition from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS).

A major boost for LSG and Rishabh Pant, the skipper?
Akash Deep has played in the IPL with eight games experience at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since 2022, having taken seven wickets. His addition adds more depth to LSG’s bowling lineup and captain Rishabh Pant has another weapon at his disposal, providing him with greater flexibility with the bowling attack. LSG are struggling at the moment with just one win in three games and sitting at the sixth spot at the table with just two points and with net run rate of -0.150.
When is LSG’s next match?
LSG’s next match against MI will be on 4th April at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, starting at 7:30 PM IST.
