Rishabh Pant was sold as the most expensive player in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He has been in discussions since then. Lucknow Super Jeets bought him for Rs 27 crore and also made the captain of the team. But Lucknow could not perform as expected and was out of the playoffs. In the IPL 2025, Pant’s demonstration was also disappointing. After which there was speculation that Pant has been dismissed from LSG, to which Pant himself has given his response.
Rishabh Pant has described these speculation on social media as fake news. He wrote that, I understand that fake news becomes a topic of more discussion. A little understanding and reliable news can be more helpful than the agenda and fake news. Thank you, be auspicious for your day what we are sharing on social media.
Pant is being trolled for two reasons. The first reason is that he has not scored even a half -century throughout the season. He has so far been able to score only 135 runs in 12 matches at a useless average of 12.27. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants had registered 4 wins in 6 matches a time ago. At the same time, in the second half of the season, LSG has registered only one win in 6 matches. In such a situation, Pant has also had to become a victim of criticism for captaincy.
At the same time, before the start of the season, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka had talked about the captaincy of his team and Pant. He said that after 10 years, Pant will be named with veterans like MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma.
I understand fake News gives more traction To content but let’s not built everything around it . Little sense and credible news will help more rather making fake news with agenda . Thanks have a good day . Let’s be responsible and sensible what we put out on social media 🇮🇳🙏🏻
