This afternoon, the SuperGiants announced skipper Rishabh Pant's arrival in their IPL 2025 camp through a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The video starts with Pant travelling by a luxury car, with the KGF movie's famous tune being played in the background.
After reaching the SuperGiants' camp, Pant steps out of the car and mesmerises the fans with his iconic walk. He gets welcomed with drumrolls and eventually sits on a wooden chair, showing his swagger with a trademark punchline.
He goes on to say, "Jo Lucknow rehne aata hai, woh shehar ke baare me seekhta hai. Aur jo Lucknow ka dil jeetne aata hai, Lucknow ko Rishabh Panti seekhata hai."
