The acquisition of India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant by the Lucknow Super Giants for an astounding INR 27 crore was one of the auction’s most talked-about topics. According to rumours, LSG is considering selecting Rishabh Pant as their IPL 2025 captain before the start of the next season.
The Indian Premier League, or IPL, is about to take place, and fans will be excited to see a number of players. Several well-known figures from the world of cricket were signed by various teams following the end of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Five players were kept by LSG before to the auction: Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, and Ravi Bishnoi. But they were searching for an Indian superstar who could take KL Rahul’s place as captain of their team.
Sunil Gavaskar may not be Samson’s superior batter.
The Indian team’s roster for the next Champions Trophy 2025 included star batsman Rishabh Pant.
When the BCCI announced the team, many were shocked to see that star batter Sanju Samson was left off, prompting many experts to voice their concerns. Sunil Gavaskar, a former cricket player for India, came out to explain the situation.
The dude has been scoring hundreds and hundreds of runs, so it’s really difficult. He cannot be excluded for any reason. However, Rishabh Pant, who is known to be a game-changer, was put up against him. Additionally, Pant is a left-hander and likely a better wicketkeeper than Samson, though he may not be a better batsman, Gavaskar told Sports Today.
Perhaps Pant has a somewhat greater ability to alter the course of events than Samson, which is why Samson lost. However, Samson shouldn’t be discouraged since all Indian cricket fans will feel sorry for him because of his accomplishments,” he continued.
