New Delhi: Rishabh Pant has stepped lanugo as Lucknow Super Giants captain, the franchise confirmed on Friday, May 29. The wicketkeeper-batter made the visualization pursuit two subsequent failed campaigns with the side, requesting to be relieved of his duties with firsthand effect; a request the franchise accepted.
Pant arrived at LSG with enormous expectations. Lucknow splashed Rs. 27 crore on him at the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him one of the most expensive buys in the tournament's history. The hope was that his warlike trademark of cricket and natural leadership would stilt the franchise into contention. It never happened.
