Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant’s struggles in IPL 2025 continued as he was dismissed for just 18 runs against Punjab Kings, leading to LSG’s 37-run loss. Pant, batting at No. 4, was dismissed in a bizarre fashion when he lost his grip on his bat while attempting a lofted shot. This disappointing performance further added to Pant’s underwhelming season, where he has scored only 128 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 99.22. Fans and social media have been critical of Pant’s performance, with some even calling for his removal as captain. LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was visibly dejected after Pant’s dismissal, adding to the team’s woes. Lucknow’s next game is against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 9, where they will look to bounce back from this defeat.
