LSG bought Rishabh Pant for a whopping ₹27 crore in the IPL 2025 Player Auction, thereby, making him the most expensive player in the history of the league.
However, his price tage and his performances reflect complete contrast this season, as the Indian wicket-keeper has registered the scores of 0, 15, 2, 2 in his four innings so far.
The T20 World Cup winner has been slandered on social media for his recent antics, but can turn the heads around with a clinical performance against KKR.
