Rishabh Pant LSG Captaincy Inside Story: Relations between Rishabh Pant and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) seem to be deteriorating continuously. After Lucknow’s poor performance in IPL 2026, while issuing an official statement, it was said that Pant had requested the franchise to remove himself from the captaincy. But now in the report it was said that the captaincy was snatched from Pant.

LSG dismissed Pant from captaincy
According to Cricblogger, Pant himself did not leave the captaincy of Lucknow but the franchise dismissed him. This decision was taken by the team due to continuous poor form. It was told that Pant was scrutinized more rigorously than any other player for the team’s poor performance. Let us tell you that Pant was bought by Lucknow for a price of Rs 27 crore in the mega auction held for the 2025 season. With this Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history.
