Rishabh Pant Bats At No. 7 For LSG vs DC, Bats For 2 Balls, Gets Out For 0. Internet Says: "Rs 27 Crore..."

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. 

Social media users blasted Rishabh Pant for coming on so late as LSG struggled to even touch 160-mark. In fact, LSG could manage just 159/6 in 20 overs.

A cheerful and fearless player like Rishabh Pant is now getting out repeatedly because of the fear of Goenka ji. He's not even able to play his natural game anymore. The reason behind this seems to be just fear. What do you think?#LSGvsDC pic.twitter.com/LMTzEPLoTQ

 A fantastic exhibition of clever variations by Delhi's pace troika, couple with an injury to skipper Rishabh Pant, left Lucknow Super Giants in complete tatters as the hosts managed only 159 for 6 in an IPL match on Tuesday. The trio of Mukesh Kumar (4/33 in 4 overs), Mitchell Starc (1/25 in 4 overs) and Dushmantha Chameera (1/25 in 3 overs) used different kinds of slower deliveries to perfection as LSG huffed and puffed their way past the 150-run mark after being 87/1 at the end of 10 overs.
