Rishabh Pant was dismissed for seven runs in the LSG vs SRH match in IPL 2025.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant endured yet another disappointing outing after he was dismissed for seven runs in the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday. Rishabh Pant was promoted to the number three spot but his fortunes did not change.
His dismissal also prompted Lucknow Super Giants owner to turn his back towards the dressing room. Sri Lanka pacer Eshan Malinga dismissed Rishabh Pant in the 12th over of the Lucknow Super Giants innings. It was a full length ball on middle and off from Eshan Malinga and Pant went ahead with an early stroke before chipping it towards the bowler Malinga himself.
Eshan Malinga showcased sharp reflexes to complete the catch. Lucknow Super Giants were 124/2 in the 12th over when the 27-year-old was dismissed.
Rishabh Pant had become the costliest player in IPL history when Lucknow Super acquired him for INR 27 crore at the mega auction last year. However, the Delhi cricketer has failed to live up to his price tag.
