New Delhi: An edge with Rishabh Pant IPL 2025 Season, former Australia captain Aaron Finch suggested a bold change: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Skipar should hand over Nicholas Goran to wicketkeeping duties to improve on-field communication and achieve clarity in leadership.
Pants struggles continued in LSG’s 37 -run loss Punjab kingsWhere he scored 17 runs in Chase, which chased 237 runs. With just 128 runs out of 10 innings at a strike rate of 99.22, it reflects his worst IPL since its start in 2016.

Speaking on Gostar, Finch highlighted how the dual role of the captain and the keeper could be a hindrance to the effectiveness of the pants. “When you are a wicketkeeper, it should be really difficult to captain one side. You probably meet in a few seconds to talk to your bowler between overs, and with a stop-clock rule, the time is minimal,” Finch explained.
Who is that IPL player?
He said that Gorn often serves as a communication bridge between pants and bowlers, but emphasized that indirect message can disrupt strategy execution. “This can be really difficult – the bowler’s plan can convert the ball into the ball, and therefore can be Rishabh. You can see how animated and disappointed he is when things do not go to the plan.”

Is dual responsibility affecting the captaincy of Rishabh Pant?
Finch advised the pants to temporarily get out of the gloves: “Perhaps it’s time that he says,” Gariban, you take gloves. I need to get rhythm, manage plans better and talk to my attack directly. “
He explained how captains like Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill maintain continuous communication from inside the ring – some pants may benefit from replication.
Now in a win area with LSG, leadership clarity can be important in their playoff push.
