Lucknow Super Giants made headlines when they acquired Rishabh Pant for a whopping ₹27.5 crore in the IPL 2025 mega-auction. The team, which had a decent performance in the previous seasons, hoped that Pant’s inclusion would lead them to success. However, with two losses in three matches, the pressure is mounting on Pant as he has failed to deliver with scores of 0, 15, and 2 in the tournament so far.
Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has raised concerns about Pant’s performance, calling it a ‘huge shock’ for the team. He suggested that LSG needs to address the Pant conundrum quickly to turn their fortunes around. After a disappointing loss to Punjab Kings, Harbhajan pointed out that LSG struggled to defend their total of 171 runs.
Despite the challenges, Harbhajan praised Punjab Kings for their strong performance and believes that they have the potential to go all the way in the tournament. With Ricky Ponting leading the team, Punjab is showing signs of a cohesive unit ready to make a mark in the IPL.
In conclusion, LSG faces a tough road ahead as they look to bounce back from their early setbacks and find a way to unleash Rishabh Pant’s potential in the tournament.
