“Big Shock”: Rs 27 Crore Buy Rishabh Pant’s Flop Start In IPL 2025 Decoded By Harbhajan Singh

Rishabh Pant, the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League, experienced a forgettable start for the 2025 season. About four months ago, the Guiche-Froide goalkeeper scripted the history at IPL 2025 at auction after Lucknow super-mansions bought it for a huge sum of 27 inr. Not only in the history of IPL auctions, but also in the whole event, it was the first time that a player was signed for such a massive salary. However, he has failed to meet the expectations of the franchise so far, returning scores of 0, 15 and 2 in his three rounds in IPL 2025 so far.

Since he is also the captain of the LSG franchise and that the team has lost two of its first three games, the troubles increased only for the pants. Reacting to the performance of the striker during his last outing against the kings of Punjab in Lucknow, the former cricket player of India Harbhajan Singh said that the team had to solve the problem.

“Rishabh Pant could not do much. His bat was silent. They will have to do something about him, (he is) going out early. He was a big shock for the team,” said Harbhajan on his YouTube channel.

In the match, the captain of the Kings of Punjab, Shreyas Iyer, won the draw and opted in the bowl. Nicholas Pooran obtained a score with 44 out of 30 while LSG displayed 171 for 7 in their stipulated quota of 20 Overs.

The prosecution was a cake for PBKS, thanks to the 69 OFF 34 of Prabhsimran Singh and Captain Iyer, 52 on the 43 of Nehal Wadhera not on 25 also helped PBKS because of the team while the team recorded its second victory in as many games in IPL 2025.

“LSG remained stuck. After losing the draw, they did not score a lot of points and disappointed themselves. Nicholas Pooran played brilliantly, but he was trapped by Yuzvendra Chahal. So, when Pooran came out, LSG’s back was roughly broken. Is,” said Harbhajan.

“To beat Lucknow in Lucknow, they played a brilliant cricket. The Punjab finally looks like a team, a unit that fights. This team shows traits to go to the end. Ricky Ponting is a kind of coach, who borrows the team,” he added.
