Twitter Reactions: Rishabh Pant ends the dismal 2025 Indian Premier League with a century to remember

During Match 70 of the current IPL 2025 versus RCB at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, captain Rishabh Pant scored an incredible half-century for the Lucknow Super Giants. This season, this was only the second significant score from Pant’s bat. After the southpaw was purchased at the big auction for an incredible INR 27 crore, there were high expectations for him.

The elevated expectations were not met by the LSG captain, though. He had only amassed 151 runs at a pitiful strike rate of 107.9 in the 13 innings before the match against RCB. Pant got off to a great start as he came in to bat in the third over, dismissing Yash Dayal for 19 runs in the fourth over of the game.

A series of fours off Suyash Sharma mentioned the team hundred for LSG as well as his second fifty. He had already hit three maximums and five fours before then.

He and Mitchell Marsh (67 off 37) formed an incredible 152-run partnership for the second wicket off just 78 balls after he replaced Matthew Breetzke (14 off 12) in the middle. Between the two batters, Pant was the aggressor. In the season’s last game, the Haridwar native went on to score an incredible century.

In his IPL career, this was Pant’s second century. With just 54 deliveries, the milestone was reached. He looked quite happy to have reached this accomplishment and celebrated the amazing milestone with a special somersault. As of this writing, the hosts are poised to give RCB a lofty mark of 228 after finishing the innings at 227 for 3. For those who are unaware, if RCB fails to cross the finish line against the hosts tonight, they would have to play the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator.

Pant’s attention will now go to the England tour since the IPL with the bat is over. Additionally, he will serve as the Test team’s vice-captain as they undergo a transitional phase. During the forthcoming five-match Test series against England, he will be Shubman Gill’s second-in-command. Naturally, this knock will give the aggressive 27-year-old batsman-wicketkeeper a lot more confidence before the UK visit.

This is X’s response to Rishabh Pant knock against RCB.
