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.

For 14-Year-Old IPL Wonderkid Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Special Praise From PM Narendra Modi

Youngest to score a century in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals wonderkid Vaibhav Suryanshi has left a big impression on fans early in his career. The last couple of games might not have gone the teenager's way but he is still recognised as one of the finest talents in the game at present. Vaibhav, aged 14, promises of a big future, thanks to his undeniable talent. While the whole of India is proud of the skills he possess, his birth-state, Bihar, is understandably going ga-ga. In fact, even Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Vaibhav for the way he has begun his IPL career.

Ricky Ponting Reveals How Shreyas Iyer's Tactical Masterclass Left LSG Stunned

Punjab Kings registered their highest score of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, putting 236 on the board against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The likes of Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Shashank Singh contributed the most with the bat, adding scores of 91, 45 and 33 respectively but another batter whose cameo helped the team put a resounding total on the board was Josh Inglis. The Australian hadn't done much with the bat until the match in Dharamsala, where he was promoted to the No. 3 spot. After the game, PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting revealed that the decision to change Inglis' role was taken by skipper Shreyas Iyer.

Rahul Dravid Left Speechless As RR Suffer Yet Another Heartbreaking Defeat With 1 Run Loss vs KKR

Rajasthan Royals' (RR) miserable IPL 2025 season continued as they failed in yet another run chase to suffer a heartbreaking one run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday. Chasing 207, RR's stand-in captain Riyan Parag had single-handedly brought them back into the run chase. However, RR failed to wrap it up, ending up losing their ninth game out of 12 matches this season. After the match, head coach Rahul Dravid appeared emotionless in the dugout, having helplessly witnessed yet another narrow defeat.

Several former Pakistani cricketers, led by legendary batter Javed Miandad, have expressed deep disappointment over recent comments made by Indian cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar regarding Pakistan's participation in the upcoming Asia Cup. Gavaskar, speaking to a news channel, indicated that given the current political climate, it was highly unlikely Pakistan would take part in the tournament, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner Digvesh Rathi brought back his fiery 'notebook' celebration against Punjab Kings (PBKS), as he picked up two wickets in their IPL 2025 clash on Sunday. One of the most talked about celebrations of the tournament, Digvesh's acts have landed him in hot water and fetched him multiple fines this season. The fines have led to Digvesh toning down his celebrations, instead doing them on the ground. However, after dismissing Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh, Digvesh brought back his signature celebration.
