Rishabh Pant IPL 2025: Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has been out of cricketing action after he met with a major car accident in December 2022. The young cricketer suffered multiple injuries and didn’t play any kind of professional cricket for almost years. However, Pant has been recording fast and is expected to take on the field very soon.
Many believe that Rishabh Pant will make his grand comeback by playing in the IPL 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), after the franchise acquired him for a whopping INR 27 Crore — making it one of the most talked-about signings in IPL history. Pant, who has been the heartbeat of Delhi Capitals (DC) for several seasons and their designated captain, had to miss the entire 2023 season due to a horrific accident. In his absence, David Warner stepped in as DC’s skipper, but the team underperformed and ended up finishing ninth on the points table.
Pant made a strong return in IPL 2024, featuring in 13 matches and showing glimpses of his explosive best. He scored 446 runs with a highest score of 88 not out, averaging 40.55 and striking at an impressive 155.40. He also smashed 36 fours and 25 sixes, with 3 fifties to his name, while contributing behind the stumps with 11 catches and 5 stumpings.
