Rishabh Pant Labelled 'Ego Buy' For LSG, Owner Sanjiv Goenka Clarifies Rs 27 Crore Bid
Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after being bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a whopping sum of Rs 27 crore during IPL 2025 mega auction. There was a massive bidding war between LSG and Sunrisers Hyderabad for the star but the Sanjiv Goenka-owned franchise eventually stood ahead at Rs 20.75 crore bid. However, that was not the end of challenge for LSG. Delhi Capitals decided to use their Right To Match (RTM) card and the LSG franchise then had to come up with a final bid of Rs 27 crore to secure the services of Pant.
