Rishabh Pant has scored just 286 runs across 13 matches in this season of the IPL 2026, and under his leadership, the Lucknow Super Giants have not managed to advance to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
Former Indian wicketkeeper and ex-India selector Kiran More has backed Rishabh Pant despite his recent struggles in international as well as franchise cricket. Pant was recently replaced by KL Rahul as India's Test vice-captain, following that tragic whitewash against South Africa under Pant's captaincy.
"Every cricketer goes through a phase like this; you pass through such times. So I think there will definitely be a great comeback, and a strong comeback. When his life was saved, and he returned to the team, he performed so well, so this (current phase) is nothing compared to that," More told IANS on Thursday.
Kiran More praises Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, calls him a 'special player'
"No, look, he is a special player, and God has created and sent him, so I think it's a great thing that he sent him to India. You will keep watching him, as he will score a lot of runs in the future.
"Even if he doesn't, he is still a special player for me. But just let him play cricket freely and don't put too much pressure on him because he's performing so well at such an early age. I think it's all part of that 'wow factor,' and I want him to play Test matches, one-day matches, and T20S whenever he makes his debut for India."
