Rishabh Pant's poor IPL 2025 campaign as captain and batter

LSG have not had a great season this year. They failed to make it to the top four and qualify for the playoffs. With six wins, seven defeats and 12 points from 13 games, they are placed seventh on the table.

Rishabh Pant, who was acquired for a massive sum of ₹27 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction, was also announced as LSG skipper ahead of the start of the season. His stint as captain has not been great, looking at how the season has panned out for Lucknow.

Moreover, he has failed to deliver as one of the top batters in the team as well. The left-hander has scored only 151 runs from 12 innings at an average of 13.72 and a strike-rate of 107.09 with just one half-century.

He will be keen to end the season with a match-winning knock and help LSG finish on a positive note as well.
