George Linde Joins Lucknow Super Giants


New Delhi: The Lucknow Super Giants have officially signed South African all-rounder George Linde to fill the void left by Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga, who is out of the current Indian Premier League season due to an injury.


Hasaranga, acquired by LSG for ₹2 crore, suffered a hamstring injury during Sri Lanka's first match in the T20 World Cup earlier this year.


Linde, known for his left-handed batting and slow left-arm orthodox bowling, brings a wealth of experience to the team. He has played for South Africa in three Test matches, four One Day Internationals, and 37 T20 Internationals, amassing 403 runs and taking 35 wickets in T20Is.


At 33 years old, Linde has participated in over 250 T20 matches across various leagues and domestic tournaments, enhancing LSG's all-round capabilities.


This will mark Linde's first appearance in the IPL, and he will join the team at his base price of ₹1 crore.
