Rishabh Pant made his debut for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025 but faced disappointment as he was dismissed for a duck against his former team, Delhi Capitals. Coming in at No. 4, Pant struggled to find his rhythm and lost his wicket in the middle overs after facing five dot balls. This was in contrast to the explosive innings played by his teammates, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran, who had a blistering partnership. Pant’s dismissal proved to be a turning point as LSG lost momentum in the final overs. His lackluster performance drew sharp criticism from fans on social media, especially as he entered the tournament as the most expensive player in IPL history with a Rs 27 crore deal. Tweets mocking Pant’s performance circulated online, highlighting the disappointment of fans. Despite the setback, Pant will look to bounce back in the upcoming matches for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
