Rishabh Pant's early exit against MI frustrates fans again

The 45th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is another chance for Rishabh Pant to shine, but it seems this is not the year for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)'s captain. Overall, so far, LGS witnessed a major sweep in early overs, first Nicholas Pooran and then, consecutively, another wicket of Rishabh Pant.

Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. But yet again, Pant continued to be in his poor form. The LSG captain registered his sixth single-digit score of the season after falling for 4 (2) to Will Jacks in the seventh over.

The incident occurred on the fourth ball of the over when Pant attempted a reverse sweep off Jacks but ended up hitting it directly to Karn Sharma at short third.

"That's why I respect Suryakumar Yadav because he accepts that his ODI stats are poor and he is honest with himself and then there is Rishabh Pant who got offended when Harsha Bhogle pointed out the reality of his white ball stats."

A look at Rishabh Pant's last 10 IPL innings

Rishabh Pant was one of the most anticipated players of the IPL, having been the highest-paid player this season, and was roped in by Lucknow Super Giants at an auction of INR 25 crore.

However, he has not lived up to expectations, and his batting performances have been disappointing in the last few matches. His last 10 innings in the league show that he is far from his best form.

Pant's batting average across his last 10 IPL innings stands at 13.9. His highest score during this stretch is 63, which remains his only half-century of the season.
