Rishabh Pant's stint with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has officially come to an end. On June 23, IPL confirmed that the star wicketkeeper-batter had rejoined Delhi Capitals (DC) through a trade deal. As part of the agreement, spinner Kuldeep Yadav moved in the opposite direction and joined Lucknow.

Pant's departure marks the end of a brief but eventful chapter with LSG. The franchise had secured his services for a record-breaking ₹27 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the most expensive player in the league's history. He was subsequently appointed captain, but Lucknow failed to qualify for the playoffs in both seasons under his leadership.

Captaincy Exit Followed by Franchise Departure

Following LSG's elimination from IPL 2026, the franchise announced that Rishabh Pant had requested to step down as captain, a decision that was accepted immediately. However, media reports later suggested that the move may not have been entirely voluntary.

Regardless of the circumstances, Pant's association with Lucknow soon came to an end as he completed his return to Delhi Capitals.
