Mumbai: Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has described the batting line-up of the Lucknow Super Giants as weak for the IPL 2026 season. Pathan said that the team’s approach in the mini-auction clearly reflected a continued emphasis on bowling. As a result, the franchise has managed to assemble a strong group of bowlers, but it still lacks quality and depth in its batting department, which remains a key area of concern.
