Rishabh Pant’s struggles in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 continue, leaving Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and their fans concerned. In the 13th match of the season against Punjab Kings at Ekana Stadium, Pant once again failed to make an impact, scoring just 2 runs before being dismissed. His form has now become a major talking point.
Rishabh Pant’s struggles in IPL 2025
Rishabh Pant’s performance so far in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has been far from ideal. He started with a duck against Delhi Capitals, followed by a modest 15-run knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In his third match against PBKS, with Lucknow Super Giants already under pressure at 32/2, Pant had the opportunity to stabilize the innings but fell cheaply to Glenn Maxwell. With just 17 runs in three matches, questions are mounting over his ability to lead from the front.
Hefty price tag and mounting pressure
Lucknow Super Giants made history by signing Rishabh Pant for Rs 27 crores in IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the most expensive player in tournament history.
However, his performances so far haven’t justified the investment. If he doesn’t find form soon, LSG’s IPL 2025 campaign could face serious hurdles, and the pressure on Pant will only intensify.
Fans bash Pant for back-to-back poor outings
