Rishabh Pant’s pathetic form continued, as he fell off 2 balls against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Pant played a reverse sweep directly for the third man. This was a bad shot Lucknow Super Giants Captain.
It was a full ball from Will Jack on the stump. The pants were reduced, looking to scoop it for a reverse sweep, a shot that was not required, and finished it incorrectly, snatched it directly to Karn Sharma.
The pants are a difficult season so far, with only 110 runs in ten matches, including a knock of 63. This number is very low for a player of his height. If he fails to find his rhythm, this will be the first time after 2016 that he scored less than 200 runs in the IPL season.
Who is that IPL player?
In his return season last year, he scored 446 runs for Delhi Capital in 13 matches and also scored three half -centuries.
The pants were acquired by LSG for LS 27 crore in last year’s auction, which became the most expensive player in the history of the league.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians rode in half -century by Ryan Ryan Ricelton (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (54) to reach 215/7 in 20 overs against the Lucknow Super Veterans in the IPL match 45.
Ricelton asked LSG captain Rishabh Pant to bat first that the innings with half a century off 25 balls gave the initial push. Suryakumar Yadav then usually gave further speed with 54 runs off 28 balls, which became the highest scorer of the season with 417 runs in 10 innings.
Under high humidity warm conditions, Ricelton caught fire from the second over, scoring only 25 balls for the fifty and the fastest half -century of the seasons for Mumbai Indians, who are on an unbeaten run of four matches in IPL 2025.
Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav became the second fastest to reach 4000 runs by balls faced in the IPL on Sunday.
