Mitchell marsh on rishabh pant: For Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant, IPL 2025 has no less than a frightening dream. He flopped badly as a batsman. At the same time, his team could not qualify in the playoffs. Pant was bought by Lucknow for a large amount of Rs 27 crore, but he could not perform as expected. His fellow player Mitchell Marsh has given a big statement on Pant’s poor performance.
Rishabh Pant did not bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. In this match, he landed at number three. Even after the stage set, he could not score runs. After Lucknow opener Mitchell Marsh, after the team was out of the IPL, said that Rishabh Pant will be the first person to accept that this season was not good for him.
Lucknow Super Giants lost by six wickets against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. With this, the team got out of the playoff race while it has two more matches left. Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant scored just 135 runs in 12 matches and his strike rate was also less than 100.
Michel Marsh, who scored 443 runs from five half-centuries so far in IPL 2025, said, “He will be the first person to say that he would not have liked the session as he would have liked, but I personally know that sometimes cricket runs like this. We know that he is a great player. He is very skilled and very talented, so he will return.”
Marsh further said, “I think perhaps the time of self -determination will come after this session. My focus is just trying to contribute to winning the next two matches for my team and my franchise. As I said that IPL is a big tournament and the difference of victory is very low. Finish firmly. “
Rishabh Pant gets Akash Chopra’s support
Former India opener Akash Chopra told ‘Jio Hotstar’, “Success can teach you some things. Although failures actually change your mindset and often happens for good. He is not a regular member of the Indian T20 team, so this session was not important. This session was important. The opportunity to leave his mark and create a strong team. It did not happen in his own form. Will stay on the attitude or reconcile? “
Chopra said, “When you are going through a bad phase, it seems that nothing is working. The nights seem long, the day is longer, then you learn and return. It has been a bad dream. The good thing of bad dreams is that you finally wake up.”
