The Aussie keeper's arrival could change LSG's fortunes in IPL 2026.
Josh Inglis is finally ready to don the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) colours, joining just in time for their crucial match against Mumbai Indians on May 4. After tying the knot on April 18, Inglis’s late entry could be the spark LSG desperately needs, especially as they’re currently on a three-match losing streak.
Having smashed 278 runs at a blistering strike rate of 163 in his debut IPL season with Punjab Kings, Inglis proved he’s got the chops. With Rishabh Pant and Nicholas Pooran both struggling for form, his arrival is a timely boost. LSG forked out a hefty ₹8.6 crore for him, banking on his potential to turn things around in a team that’s languishing at ninth on the points table.
Inglis’s inclusion also raises questions about LSG’s overseas strategy. With Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and George Linde already in the mix, will they risk dropping Pooran, who’s been underwhelming? As LSG prepares for their next two matches against Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, all eyes will be on Inglis to see if he can deliver under pressure.
With the stakes high, will Inglis’s magic touch be enough to revive LSG’s IPL campaign? Stay tuned!
