‘All players in our team are tabaahi’- Rishabh Pant weighs in on LSG teammates ahead of IPL 2025

The 2025 Indian Premier League will mark the Lucknow Super Giants’ fourth participation in the prestigious competition. In addition to seasoned players, they acquired a great deal of new talent at the mega auction held in advance of the 18th edition of the IPL.

Rishabh Pant was the subject of one of the most exciting deals at the two-day event held in Jeddah. He recently discussed southpaws, David Miller and Nicholas Pooran, as well as the squad’s general makeup.

My friend is Nicholas Pooran. I spoke with him while I was getting well. David Miller is outstanding. What he is doing and his background. finishing the games. Many of them are young people. Our team’s players are all tabaahi (destructive),” Pant said in a JioStar discussion.

Rishabh Pant is comparable to Lucknowi chaat: Rishabh Pant

Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of LSG, was gushing about the Indian batsman-wicketkeeper. He continued by forecasting that Pant would have great success with the franchise in the future. The franchise owner further added, in a light-hearted manner, that Pant, as a cricket player, possesses all the flavours of Lucknowi street street cuisine.

“Rishabh Pant will not only be LSG’s best player, but also the best player in the IPL.” I have never witnessed such passion. His relationship with the players, teams, and cognitive process is distinct from that of the boy next door. The traditional way of thinking is not unique. He seems like a leader to me. According to Goenka, he will likely be the best captain the IPL has ever seen.

“Rishabh Pant is like Lucknowi chaat (savouries of Lucknow),” he said.

For those who are unaware, Pant will not play for the Delhi Capitals in the 2025 Indian Premier League, the first time the lucrative league has done so. Since he made his IPL 2016 debut, he has been a vital part of DC. With 3,284 runs in 111 games at a scorching strike rate of 148.93, his IPL record is self-evident.

Prior to the massive auction, he was let go after a disagreement with the DC management on his future with the franchise. Many franchises were watching him when he went inside the auction. He was the most expensive choice in IPL history up to that point, having been bought for INR 27 crore.
