Mega LSG-RR trade in the offing
The deal has not been finalised yet, but Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals are in talks over a swap involving a batter and a fast bowler
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are discussing a trade that could involve three or four players. Cricbuzz understands that the RR management is keen to acquire a pacer who enjoyed a successful stint with LSG last season and is likely to be headed to Jaipur from Lucknow.
A spinner from LSG could also be part of the deal being discussed between the two franchises, but at this stage, the trade has been agreed upon in principle, with names being kept under wraps. Given that batting was their weak link last season, LSG, it is understood, are willing to spare one of their bowlers, as bowling, particularly fast bowling, was their strength.
RR, of course, have many batters and all-rounders at their disposal. They seem inclined to spare one or two of them: a batter and an all-rounder, or one of the two. It is understood that the finishing touches are being given to the deal, which is expected to be announced soon.
