Zaheer Khan, a former Indian bowler, expressed disappointment over the Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) current position in the IPL 2026 standings, where they sit ninth after suffering four consecutive losses. Despite off-season reinforcements, including the addition of Mohammed Shami, Khan believes the team should be performing better. He noted that the bowling lineup has improved and that injuries are no longer a concern. However, the inconsistent performance of star batters and frequent changes to the batting order have hindered their success. Former player Virender Sehwag echoed this sentiment, suggesting that LSG should revert to a more stable batting order featuring Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran at the top. As LSG prepares for a critical match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Ekana Stadium on April 26, they hope to end their losing streak and improve their standings.
