IPL 2025 player performance analysis News

Rishabh Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history after Lucknow Super Giants bought him for ₹27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Despite his high price, Pant scored only 269 runs in 14 matches, averaging ₹10.03 lakh per run—sparking debate over his value. His performance included one standout century (118*), but lacked consistency. Known for his explosive batting and leadership, Pant has crossed 300+ runs in every IPL season since 2017. While his move from Delhi to Lucknow made headlines, fans remain divided on whether LSG’s record-breaking investment was justified based on his 2025 output.

Jonny Bairstow and Richard Gleeson are set to join Mumbai Indians as replacements for Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton ahead of the IPL 2025 playoffs due to international commitments.
