Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant just can’t seem to catch a break. After a lukewarm return to IPL 2025, the left-hander added another flop to his name, walking back for just 2 runs in Match 13 against Punjab Kings in Lucknow on Tuesday and let’s just say, Twitter wasn’t kind.

Fans Rip Into Rishabh Pant After Yet Another Failure

Rishabh Pant walked out at No. 4 with LSG needing some solid anchoring after openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram were sent packing early. With Nicholas Pooran already at the crease, the fans hoped their INR 27 crore man would finally show up and play a captain’s knock. But it did not happen.

Facing Glenn Maxwell, Pant tried to be cheeky against a short ball down leg. Instead of tucking it fine or nudging it away, he went for the pull. Poor execution meant the ball went straight into the hands of Yuzvendra Chahal at short fine leg. The look on Pant’s face said it all. Frustration, disappointment disbelief, all bundled into one.

And of course, Twitter didn’t hold back. Memes, digs, and fiery reactions flew in thick and fast. From roasting his T20 game to questioning how he's worth INR 27 crore, fans let it rip. Some even joked that LSG paid him ₹27 crore per dot ball.


Here’s a look at how fans reacted to Rishabh Pant’s dismissal in LSG vs PBKS:

"Rishabh Pant Is Of No Use In T20 Cricket ❗️ He Is A Burden For Any Team. LSG Should Remove Him From Captaincy ASAP. Third Consecutive Failure In IPL 2025." - @VibhuBhola

"Requesting BCCI to drop Rishabh Pant from Central Contract. He is not even the Top 10 wicketkeeper in India right now. @GautamGambhir @imAagarkar" - @Samsoncentral

"A friendly meeting b/w Rishabh Pant & Goenka." - @Kunal_KLR

"Is Rishabh Pant the most overrated T20 cricketer? Apart from Tests and a few occasional innings, I have not seen that spark, he is usually hyped for, in him. #IPL2025 #LSGvsPBKS" - @64MohsinKamal

"I'm happy that my Rishabh Pant has looted that Goenka's 27 crores. 😍 #LSGvsPBKS" - @Kunal_KLR


LSG Still Hanging In There

Despite the top-order collapse, LSG are hanging in there at 49/3 after 7 overs with Pooran and Ayush Badoni looking to weather the storm and set up a fighting total. But with Pant failing again, the pressure is on the middle order to carry the load.
