Rishabh Pant is playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. He was signed for Rs 27 crore by the Lucknow-based franchise in the mega auction last year. The ongoing season has been a forgetful one for the 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Delhi, and on Tuesday (April 22) he hit a new low. During his team’s ninth league match of the ongoing season, Pant came out to bat at No. 7 against his former team, the Delhi Capitals, and got out for a two-ball duck. Follow LSG vs GT Live Score It was his second duck of the ongoing season against Delhi Capitals. In the last match played between the two teams at Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on March 24, Pant failed to open his account and got out for a six-ball duck. After Pant failed to do anything with the bat in front of Lucknow fans, social media users took to X to troll him heavily. Several posts mocking Pant are going viral on the internet.

Did he take 27 crores just to sit in the dugout? He is the worst player in T20, the lower order batsman are better than him. — Satish Mishra ?? (@SATISHMISH78) April 22, 2025 Pant scored a half-century in the last IPL match played at Ekana Stadium against Chennai Super Kings, and there were hopes that he would come out to bat at No. 4 once again after Aiden Markram (52) and Mitchell Marsh (45) helped the hosts get off to a flying start, but to everyone’s surprise, Pant promoted Abdul Samad (2 runs from 8 balls) to bat at four. David Miller came to bat at No. 5, and Ayush Badoni (36 runs) was used as an impact player by LSG despite having the likes of Pant available on the bench. The tactics of Pant delaying his arrival also invited criticism for him, and fans even questioned his intent.
