The incident happened on the third over of the KKR innings.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant had a brain fade moment during their match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
On the second ball of the third over, Pant went up for a DRS without the support of anyone from the team for a knick off Quinton de Kock. However, the replays showed that the ball wasn’t even close to the bat as LSG burned one review out of the two available.
However, Rishabh Pant managed to redeem himself on the very next delivery after Akash Deep struck QdK on the pads. While the on-field umpire denied the appeal for lbw, it was a brave call from Pant to opt for a DRS again, especially after wasting one on the previous ball and the reviews showed out.
