Pant falls for single digits again as struggles deepen
IPL/BCCI
Rishabh Pant’s poor form continued as he was dismissed for 7 off 6 by a clever slower yorker from Eshan Malinga in a crucial clash vs SRH
Pant mistimed the delivery and was caught brilliantly by Malinga, leaving LSG at 124/2 despite a strong start from their openers
Acquired for Rs 27 crore, Pant has managed just 135 runs in 13 games this season, averaging a dismal 12.27 in IPL 2025
LSG’s explosive 115-run opening stand set the tone, but Pant’s failure at No. 3 stalled their momentum at a key stage
The timing of Pant’s dismissal hurt LSG’s rhythm, as the team struggled to maintain the aggressive tempo set by Marsh and Markram
