KL Rahul to lead while Marcus Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi as members of Lucknow team

It has not just been said but has been repeated before that KL Rahul is all set to join the Lucknow franchise. The former Punjab player will also lead the team in the upcoming Indian T20 League. The franchise was looking to strengthen their team by adding the likes of Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada or even Shreyas Iyer but failed to convince either of them and now it has been confirmed that Marcus Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi will be two other players that will join this new franchise.

The Australian all-rounder will be joining the squad for 11 crores while the uncapped Indian Ravi Bishnoi will be joining the squad for 4 crores only. Ever since the news broke, the fans have been in a dilemma and many believe that they could have got someone better at that price. However, in a big ground like that of Lucknow, Ravi Bishnoi can be very, very lethal. With these new signings on board, the new franchise will be having a lot of money left with them. It will be really interesting to see how well they use their money at the auction table.
