Though lucknow super giants

Though Lucknow Super Giants: Though Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant’s 118 not out off 61 balls went in vain, mentor Zaheer Khan said he was pleased with the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter signing off from IPL 2025 on a very strong note.

Pant’s unbeaten second IPL century wasn’t enough to save Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from chasing down 228 with ease, as LSG ended their season with a defeat. Overall, Pant, the newly-appointed Test vice-captain, had an underwhelming time with the bat – amassing just 269 runs at a strike rate of 133.16.

“He has been good as a leader, that is something which was a bright positive for us throughout the season. The form with the bat definitely was something which was a learning experience for him as well to have this kind of a season.
