Rishabh Pant<\/strong>: <\/a>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant hit back at critics over questioning his place as his struggles continue in IPL 2025. The keeper-batter acknowledged that one player can make a difference, but it’s unfair to point out at one individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rishabh Pant<\/strong>: Pant, who became the costliest player in the IPL auction by fetching \u20b927 crore from the Super Giants, has managed only one half-century in nine innings. The left-hander is averaging a woeful 12.22 with only 110 runs and managed only four in the 54-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rishabh Pant<\/strong>: At the post-game presentation, Pant admitted that things aren’t going as expected but he doesn’t want to keep question himself. He said, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“See (I am) keeping it very simple. Not thinking about that (his form) too much because in a season like this, where things are not going your way, you’re going to start questioning yourself as a player, and that is something you don’t want to do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“When the team isn’t doing well, you’ve got to think about that because eventually it’s a team game. Yes, one player definitely makes a difference, but every time if you take out the individual, it’s not the right thing to do, I guess.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rishabh Pant<\/strong>: The 27-year-old batted at No. 4 against the\u00a0Mumbai Indians\u00a0on Sunday and struck a boundary off the first ball he faced from\u00a0Will Jacks. However, he reverse swept one straight to short third man the very next delivery,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rishabh Pant<\/strong>: “I wouldn’t relate it to pressure” – Zaheer Khan on Rishabh Pant’s form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LSG mentor\u00a0Zaheer Khan\u00a0threw his weight behind the skipper, praising Pant’s leadership skills and is confident of his form improving in the upcoming matches. Zaheer said at the post-game presentation:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“He’s a leader, and he’s been fantastic as a leader. That’s something which I can vouch for. The kind of efforts he’s been taking to make sure that each individual in that group is comfortable, is heard, and the planning to do everything which goes around in IPL, he’s being spot on. As a batter\u2026 the middle order is dependent on Rishabh.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“And I’m very confident that the impact, which we want from him, will come. It’s just about something clicking. So I wouldn’t relate it to pressure.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With five losses and five wins, the Super Giants risk missing out on a semi-final spot. They next face the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on May 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
