Rishabh Pant has been officially appointed as the new captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Pant, who formerly captained Delhi Capitals, was secured by LSG for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction.
LSG, owned by Sanjiv Goenka, debuted in IPL 2022 and made a strong impression by reaching the playoffs in their first two seasons under KL Rahul’s leadership.
Hemang Badani, in a candid conversation on Subramaniam Badrinath’s podcast Cric It with Badri, revealed that Pant’s decision to leave Delhi Capitals was largely driven by financial aspirations.
Among all big names of world cricket, the wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant will be the center of attraction at the (IPL) 2025 mega auction on Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pant, who was leading Delhi Capitals in the last few seasons, wasn't released by his franchise ahead of the auction.
He has taken part in 111 games for Delhi and has collected 3284 runs at an average of 35.
