Experts Question LSG's Batting Depth Despite Bowling Boost; Inglis Pick Scrutinized

• Experts like Aakash Chopra and Irfan Pathan criticize Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) persistent middle-order batting depth issues, especially at positions 5, 6, and 7.
• Chopra noted LSG's top-order was exceptional last season, but the lower order struggled, with players like David Miller failing to deliver consistently.
• LSG significantly strengthened its bowling attack with additions like Wanindu Hasaranga, Mohammed Shami, Anrich Nortje, and Mayank Yadav.
• Irfan Pathan suggested LSG needed more top-class batters, hoping for someone like Livingstone, given current options like Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad.
• Former opener Abhinav Mukund questioned the Rs 8.6 crore purchase of Josh Inglis, who is available for only four IPL games and unlikely to start.

Why It Matters: LSG's bowling is stronger, but experts highlight critical unaddressed batting depth issues and question Inglis's value.
