IPL 2025: Rishabh Pant's IPL Captaincy Record Raise Concerns For LSG's Future

Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025: Stylish wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant captained Delhi Capitals (DC) starting in 2021 and led the team throughout the 2022 and 2024 seasons.

Rishabh Pant's captaincy record in IPL: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has officially appointed Rishabh Pant as their captain for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, following his acquisition for a record Rs 27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Rishabh Pant's captaincy role was officially confirmed on January 20, with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team owner Sanjiv Goenka also present during the announcement.

Can Rishabh Pant deliver a title for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)?

Since its debut in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has reached the playoffs in both 2022 and 2023, but failed to qualify in 2024. After parting ways with former captain KL Rahul, LSG has placed their trust in Pant, hoping his leadership could help them reach the finals.

But can Pant live up to these high expectations? Let's have a look at Rishabh Pant's captaincy record in Indian Premier League (IPL).

Rishabh Pant captained Delhi Capitals (DC) starting in 2021 and led the team throughout the 2022 and 2024 seasons. Despite being in charge for 43 matches, Pant's record has been modest, with DC winning 23 of those and one match ended in a tie, giving him a win percentage of 54.65%.

DC never managed to make the IPL playoffs under Pant's captaincy, which suggests that his captaincy has been underwhelming so far. It remains to be seen whether Rishabh Pant can turn things around for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
