In exchange for the reported Rajasthan players, Lucknow Super Giants could send either Nicholas Pooran or Josh Inglis to Rajasthan Royals.
Nicholas Pooran: The West Indies batter is known for his explosive power-hitting and ability to finish T20 matches. His arrival could strengthen Rajasthan's middle order.
Josh Inglis: The Australian wicketkeeper-batter offers flexibility in the batting order and can contribute with both the bat and gloves.
The final choice between Pooran and Inglis could play an important role in shaping Rajasthan Royals' batting combination for IPL 2027.
