Rishabh Pant's wicket vs DC (Source:@kuchnahi1269083/X.com)
Rishabh Pant is the most expensive player in the history of the IPL, as he was bought for 27 Crore by LSG in the mega auction. He is expected to take Lucknow Super Giants to a new direction with his leadership and batting skills, but has now started off on a poor note.
Rishabh Pant Fails In His First Match As Captain For LSG
He departed on a six-ball duck, and could not carry on the momentum that was set by Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran with their power-hitting. Rishabh Pant lost his wicket on the fourth ball of the 14th over. It was a full delivery on off from Kuldeep Yadav. Rishabh Pant was itching to get going, and went for a big shot down the ground.
He did not time it properly though and the ball went straight to the long off fielder. Faf du Plessis there took an easy catch, and Rishabh Pant was left disappointed. The star wicketkeeper batter looked visibily distured after losing his wicket and slapped his bat on the pad when he was leaving the ground.
It was Kuldeep Yadav at his very best, and after his dismissal, Mitchell Starc produced a beauty to send back dangerous Nicholas Pooran. Earlier, Aiden Markram too could not make much of an impact, but Mitchell Marsh played a superb knock and along with Pooran has taken LSG to a strong position.
