Rishabh Pant shocked all with his stunning rise in the IPL, as he was bought for a massive worth of INR 27 crores by the Lucknow Super Giants, making it the highest ever bid in the history of franchise cricket. He captained Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025, but did not have a successful season in the IPL.
Former CSK batter Subramaniam Badrinath believes that star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant has gone out of favour within the Indian white-ball setup. He has also called out that this season will be crucial for him to make a turnaround.
"There will be a lot of focus on Rishabh Pant. Let's not forget, he was the most expensive player in the auction two years back. So there will be massive expectations on him. It is clear that he has gone out of favor within the Indian white-ball setup. They are seeing him only as a red-ball player," said Subramaniam Badrinath on Rishabh Pant.
The upcoming IPL season is huge for Pant- Subramaniam Badrinath
"If he has to create headlines in white-ball cricket, the upcoming IPL season is huge for Pant. Captaincy has seemingly diminished his free-flowing batting," Badrinath feels captaincy has taken away the flamboyant batting style from Pant.
