The Indian Premier League 2026 season is crucial for Rishabh Pant, captain of Lucknow Super Giants.
Last season, Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player and captain of Lucknow Super Giants, but both he and the team struggled.
In the new season, Rishabh Pant faces the challenge of proving his ability and leadership, and he has prepared hard for it.
However, before the season begins, Rishabh Pant also sought the blessings of Lord Rama along with his preparations.
Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka, Rishabh Pant, and some team players visited the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya to offer prayers.
Photos of the visit were shared on the Lucknow Super Giants social media accounts, and several players also posted them on their own profiles.
This season, Lucknow Super Giants will play their first match on April 1 in Lucknow, where Rishabh Pant will face his former team Delhi Capitals.
