On Rishabh Pant's Form Struggles, Virender Sehwag's Blunt 'Role Model MS Dhoni' Reminder

As the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) top three crumbled against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Sunday, expectations were high from Rishabh Pant to stand up and deliver for his team. The wicket-keeper batter, bought for INR 27 crore in the mega auction, hasn't produced a single meaningful knock this campaign, and the match against Punjab was no different. As Pant endures another frustrating outing for Lucknow in the IPL, former India opening batter Virender Sehwag has advised him to give a call to someone like Dhoni, express what is burning inside him.

Rishabh Pant Labelled 'Stubborn', Sent Clear 'It's Not Working' Message

Bought for a whopping fee of INR 27 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction, Rishabh Pant has unarguably been the biggest flop of the season so far. With an average of just over 12, Pant has tried his hand at different roles in the batting order but failed to deliver in any. As the Lucknow Super Giants' top three incurred a rare failure against Punjab Kings on Sunday, the spotlight fell on Pant to resurrect the team's chase of 237 runs. But the manner of his dismissal once again reflected the wayward campaign he has had so far.

Rishabh Pant Fumes At Avesh Khan For Not Following Strategy, LSG Pacer Loses Focus

Punjab Kings moved one step closer towards the playoffs with an emphatic win over Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. Playing at the picturesque location of Dharamsala, PBKS posted a whopping total of 236/5 after being asked to bat first. Later, the hosts restricted LSG to 199/7 and won the match by 37 runs. The biggest hero of PBKS' victory was opener Prabhsimran Singh, who played a brilliant knock of 91 off 48 balls. As LSG bowlers kept on leaking too many runs, there was a moment in the game when skipper Rishabh Pant lost his cool at pacer Avesh Khan.

Sanjiv Goenka's Reaction To Yet Another Rishabh Pant Flop Show Breaks Internet

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant wasn't able to bring an end to his poor run of form with the bat, falling for yet another underwhelming score in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. After the trio of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran fell early, the onus was on Pant, Ayush Badoni, and other middle-order batters to resurrect the team's position in the chase of 237 runs against Punjab. But, LSG could only reach 199/7, despite Badoni's 40-ball 74. Once again this season, Lucknow were let down by their captain, Pant, when they needed him the most, and owner Sanjiv Goenka's reaction summed up the feeling in the dugout.

Rishabh Pant Delivers Honest Verdict On LSG After Loss Against Punjab Kings: "When You Drop..."

A dejected Lucknow Super Giant skipper Rishabh Pant is still dreaming of sneaking into the IPL play-offs with three wins in the remaining three games despite another poor batting effort by the top-order in their 37-run defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings on Sunday. LSG have 10 points from 11 games and are currently placed seventh in the league table. With a net run-rate of -0.47, merely winning three games might not be enough for Pant and his men to make it to the play-offs. "The dream is still alive. If we can win the next three matches, we can definitely turn around and do amazing things," Pant said at the post match presentation ceremony.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant's woeful form with the bat and Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer's sublime touch have made Sunday's mid-table clash an engrossing contest—one that could decisively shape the fortunes of either side as the IPL enters its business end. Iyer's understanding of game situations and his evolution as a captain, without compromising on his batting, have served PBKS well. In their last game, the PBKS captain struck his fourth half-century of the season, helping his side to a creditable fourth spot on the table with 13 points from 10 games.
