LSG captain Rishabh Pant recorded his second consecutive failure in the IPL 2025 season as he was dismissed on just 15 runs against SRH. These back-to-back failures prompted fans to question his INR 27 crore price tag.

Pant became the most expensive player in the history of IPL after he was rewarded with INR 27 crore contract from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during IPL 2025 mega auction. However, the skipper hasn’t lived up to his potential just yet.

In the first game against DC, he was dismissed off a duck. Moreover, Rishabh Pant's form was once again unsatisfactory against SRH.

Rishabh Pant Faces Backlash On Social Media

SRH had posted 190 runs in the first inning and Nicholas Pooran set the platform for LSG in the chase, hitting 70 off just 26 balls. All Rishabh Pant had to do was bat sensibly and take his team across the finish line.

However, batting against Harshal Patel, Pant played a lost shot. Harshal bowled a high full-toss on off, and Pant, standing outside the crease, tried to go after it but only managed an edge straight to Shami at short third. 

There was a moment of uncertainty as Shami reacted like it might be a no-ball, but the ball-tracker confirmed that the delivery was just under Pant’s waist at 0.75m, making it a legal dismissal. 

As Pant walked back to the dressing room, scoring just 15 off 15 balls, fans on social media trolled him brutally. Many questioned his INR 27 crore price tag while others also called out his ugly shot selection.

"No one looks worse than Rishabh Pant while batting, how the hell he got paid 27 crores man, keeps on falling without hurting ball a bit." - @Rajiv1841

"Other than his unorthodox shots rishabh pant plays such ugly shots. I doubt why the coaches haven't asked him to change his technique." - @wellknown252

"Rishabh Pant is a mediocre T20 batter. How he went for 27CR is beyond me." - @lostneta

"Rishabh Pant will give heart attack to Goenka one day!."- @Sports_Himanshu

Regardless, owing to Pooran’s blazing inning, LSG comfortably chased down the total in 16.1 overs and won the game by 5 wickets, marking their first victory in the IPL 2025 season under Pant’s captaincy.
