Lucknow: Relief news for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)! The Lucknow team, which is at the bottom of the points table in the Indian Premier League 2026, has now got a strong batsman. Australia’s explosive wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis has finally joined the team.

Inglis was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 8 crore 60 lakh in the IPL 2026 auction, but due to his marriage, he was not able to join the team in the initial matches. Josh is now completely free after marrying his fiancée Megan Kinquart on April 18, 2026 in Margaret River, Australia.
