Rishabh Pant once again found himself at the center of fans’ ire after yet another single-digit score in IPL 2025 on Friday (April 4). The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain got out for 2 (6) in the first innings against Mumbai Indians at the Ekana Stadium, mistiming a half-hearted shot to his opposite number, Hardik Pandya’s delivery. It was his third score of under 10 in IPL 2025. In the previous three matches, his numbers read 0, 15 and 2 — contrasting to what LSG would have expected after paying an IPL-record fee of Rs. 27 crore for him in the 2025 mega auction. As per the latest trend, alongside Pant, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka‘s name also trended on social media. The businessman is famous for being hands-on with his team and has publically backed Pant to come good for the price, both as a captain and a batter. With Pant’s predecessor, KL Rahul, he was even seen having heated arguments near the pavilion. Similar pictures have come out this season, too. Check the top reactions here: Rishabh Pant is having really bad days. It’s just unfortunate. Hope someone just has a heart to heart conversation with him. It’s more than just his form. He just doesn’t give the confidence when he comes out to bat these days. — Jaanvi? (@that_shutterbug) April 4, 2025 Sanjeev Goenka’s Reaction After Once Again Rishabh Pant Throws Away His Wicket.
