The IPL 2025 has been a nightmare for Rishabh Pant as he struggles with the bat, scoring only 128 runs in 11 matches. The pressure of his hefty price tag of INR 27 crore is evident as Lucknow Super Giants lose momentum in the playoffs race. Pant’s frustration is visible on the field, with three consecutive defeats adding to the team’s woes. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has suggested Pant hand over wicketkeeping duties to Nicholas Pooran to improve communication with bowlers. Finch highlighted the challenges of being a wicketkeeper-captain in the fast-paced game and emphasized the need for constant communication. Pooran’s role as a communicator between Pant and bowlers could help LSG regain their form. Finch recommended Pooran take the gloves for a game or two to allow Pant to focus on strategizing with the bowlers. Improved communication could be the key to turning around LSG’s fortunes in the IPL.
