IPL 2026: 'Pant Is Probably The Player Who Is Under Most Pressure This Season,' Says Du Plessis
Former South Africa: Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis believes that the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant will be the player under most pressure in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will commence on March 28.
Pant became the most expensive player in the tournament's history last year when LSG secured the wicketkeeper-batter for Rs 27 crore. However, his performance with the bat failed to justify his price tag. Although he scored a century, his overall performance remained underwhelming, as the ton came when LSG were already out of the race for the playoffs.
Du Plessis highlighted the burden of the price tag and the poor performance last year, which will mount pressure on the LSG skipper. "For me, Rishabh Pant is probably the player in the IPL who is under the most pressure this season. Some guys flourish under the price tag pressure, while some don’t. I think last season was a really tough one for him. The team struggled, and he also struggled with runs in the way that he batted," Du Plessis told Jio Hotstar.
