Rishabh Pant asked to quit LSG captaincy ahead of IPL 2027 by CSK great ...Middle East

Pant joined LSG as skipper in IPL 2025, but hasn't delivered results. In both IPL 2025 and IPL 2026, LSG were eliminated from the tournament in the group stages, and Pant's own form with the bat has been very bad.

Pant's batting form did not improve from IPL 2025, but in 2026, he was arguably worse. And not just him, but his team as well.

LSG eventually won two more matches in the tournament, but that did not stop them from becoming the first team to be eliminated from this tournament.

This year, he has slightly improved on most counts. His final run tally reads 312 runs from 14 matches at an average of 28 and a strike rate of 136 with one half-century.

"The best thing he can do is play as a player" - Ambati Rayudu

"His idol has always been MS Dhoni. We have seen him talk about him, and MS Dhoni's captaincy is very, very similar. He is very instinctive, so he might be following that path, which the coaching staff might not be compatible with."

"There's no point in captaincy" - Rayudu

Rayudu went on to say that Rishabh Pant shouldn't take the burden of captaincy on himself and that MS Dhoni's shoes are still very big ones for him to fill.

Rayudu went on to compare Dhoni and Rishabh Pant's captaincy styles. "They are big shoes to fill. MS Dhoni is someone who thinks on his feet. He knows what to expect from someone in a certain situation or at a certain point. or what he's going to deliver then."
