IPL 2025 Auction: Pant Was Always In Our Bucket List, Says LSG's Shashwat Goenka

Abadi Al Johar Arena: Rishabh Pant etched his name into IPL history on Sunday at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah by becoming the most expensive player ever purchased in the league's history when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured the wicketkeeper-batter for whooping Rs 27 crore.

The acquisition was a strategic masterstroke by LSG, who were in search of an experienced leader to guide their squad. Shashwat Goenka, the son of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, shared the franchise's satisfaction after bagging the former Delhi Capitals' captain.

"Getting someone like Rishabh Pant in the team, I think everyone came with that thought and it was in our bucket list too, so yes it was a good buy yesterday for us. There was no thought of money with Rishabh, he was on our radar as we are looking for an experienced captain, and Rishabh has done that in the past, but still, I think we have time to decide who will lead the team. Our priority will be someone who can play all the matches and guide team well,” Shashwat told IANS over the phone.
