Delhi: In an exciting match of IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won by 4 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Eden Gardens, Kolkata. He scored 238 runs for 3 wickets in 20 overs while batting strongly. But in this match, there was a great surprise that captain Rishabh Pant did not come to bat.
Why didn’t Pant come to bat?
Rishabh Pant is not in good form this season. So far, he has scored only 19 runs in 4 innings. He was dismissed at 0 after playing 6 balls against Delhi Captains in the first match. Then scored 15 runs in 15 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After this, he was dismissed against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at 2-2. His confidence is also less visible due to playing bad shots. Perhaps this is why he put himself down in the batting order and gave other players a chance.
Abdul Samad sent up
When Aidan Markram was dismissed by Harshit Rana, there was a great partnership between Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Puran. The pair added 71 runs together. Then in the 16th over, Andre Russell dismissed Marsh. Pant should have come at such a time but he sent Abdul Samad. Did not get down to bat in today’s match.
With this victory, LSG has now finished fourth in the points table, and the fans hope that Rishabh will also return to form soon.
