The 13th match of IPL 2025 is being played between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. In this match, after losing the toss and batting first, the Lucknow team is seen struggling. This seems to be the worst season for LSG captain Rishabh Pant. He lost his wicket in a disappointing manner after scoring 2 runs in 5 balls against Punjab.
Rishabh Pant is the most expensive player in IPL history, but this player who was sold for 27 crores has not been able to score even 20 runs in three matches. These figures are scary for both Pant and Lucknow Super Giants.
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer was the mastermind behind Rishabh Pant's wicket. Pant had been out twice against Glenn Maxwell in 3 innings before this match and Shreyas used his brain and when Rishabh Pant came to bat, he handed the ball straight to Maxwell.
Glenn Maxwell also did not disappoint the captain and the team. He sent Rishabh back to the pavilion on the fifth ball of the first over of the spell. Pant played a shot straight towards Yuzvendra Chahal stationed at short-fine. Chahal did no wrong and took a brilliant catch.
Rishabh Pant has been able to score only 12 runs in 16 balls against Glenn Maxwell in four innings in the IPL at an average of 4 and a strike rate of 75. During this, Pant has been out three times.
With a combined total of just 17 runs in three matches, Rishabh Pant's form has become a major worry for LSG. As the tournament progresses, the team management will be hoping for their captain to regain his form and lead from the front.
