During a recent interview with the Times of India (TOI), former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly opened up about Rishabh Pant’s recent downfall.
The form of Rishabh Pant might have also affected the team’s performance as well. Additionally, repeated injuries on multiple occasions put his hard-earned momentum to a halt.
So far, Pant has served LSG as the captain for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. In these two seasons, under his leadership, the team played 28 matches in total. In these 28 games, Pant led the team to 10 wins and 18 defeats, resulting in a win percentage of roughly 35.7%. In 2025, Lucknow finished 7th, and in this season, they finished their campaign as the tenth team in the 10-team league points table.
Pant's individual batting stats also deteriorated
In total, the keeper-batter has scored 3865 runs throughout his IPL career from 136 innings, which has made his overall average 33.60, which is higher than his past two seasons' batting averages.
Sourav Ganguly explains why Pant is struggling
“He’s a very good Test player. His Test match batting is world-class. He’s still finding it tough to adapt to T20 cricket. I hope he does because he’s got enormous talent. Captaincy is a burden on everyone. It’s how you handle it. But then you want to be captain, don’t you? You want to be captain because it’s a huge honour. So you will have to get that balance right. You do it, or somebody else will,” Sourav Ganguly told TOI in the interview.
