"I Told You, Send Me In": Rishabh Pant's Post-Dismissal Chat With Zaheer Khan Decoded

Bought for Rs. 27 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, Rishabh Pant has arguably been the biggest flop of the campaign so far. A lot was expected from the stylish left-hander who broke all salary records in the T20 league with his switch from the Delhi Capitals to Lucknow Super Giants. However, in both matches against DC, LSG suffered defeats under Pant's leadership. What was baffling on Tuesday was the fact that Pant came out to bat at the No. 7 spot, promoting the likes of Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller over him.

Delhi Capitals (DC) batter KL Rahul became the fastest player to reach 5,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He achieved the milestone during DC's eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday. Rahul reached the elusive milestone in 130 innings and beat the likes of David Warner (135), Virat Kohli (157), AB de Villiers (161) and Shikhar Dhawan (168) in the list. While facing his former team that he had captained in IPL 2024 before being released by the franchise following a fiery encounter with the owner of the franchise, Rahul scored a slow and steady unbeaten 57 off 44 deliveries to cross the line and claim a massive victory.

Rishabh Pant's Bizarre Logic For Coming To Bat At No.7 In Last Over vs DC: "To Capitalise..."

A dejected Rishabh Pant sounded hardly convincing as he explained the rationale behind coming in to bat as low as number seven, promoting the likes of Abdul Samad in his team's eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. Batting first, LSG managed only 159 for 6 with Pant scoring a duck coming in at No.7 with only two balls remaining in the innings. The promotion of Samad backfired as he managed only 2 off 8 balls.

Rishabh Pant, the costliest player in the history of the IPL at Rs 27 crore, made a bizarre call during Lucknow Super Giants' match against Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2025 match. The LSG captain, who generally bat at No. 4, came to bat at No. 7 in the IPL 2025 game, that too in the last over. The LSG captain's stay at the crease lasted just two balls as he got out for 0. At the toss, Pant's right hand was heavily taped. However, it is not known, whether that had anything to do with him coming at No. 7. Later, Pant kept the wickets too.
