Rishabh Pant Good Bye Message for LSG: Rishabh Pant left Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Last Tuesday (June 23), IPL shared the official information about Pant’s return to Delhi Capitals (DC). It was told in the release that Pant went back to Delhi through a trade deal and in his place Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav joined Lucknow. Now after leaving Lucknow, Pant said goodbye to the franchise in just three words.
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. Pant was made the captain, but in both the seasons the team could not qualify for the playoffs under his captaincy. After this, relations between Pant and Lucknow gradually started deteriorating.
First left the captaincy, then separated from the team
After Lucknow’s elimination in IPL 2026, the franchise made an official announcement saying that Pant himself requested to step down from the captaincy, which was accepted with immediate effect. However, after this, some reports claimed that Pant himself had not stepped down from the captaincy, rather he was removed. Shortly after this, Pant separated from the franchise and returned to his old team Delhi.
Farewell message written in 3 words
Often you must have seen that when players leave a team, they appear very emotional and write long posts on social media, but Pant did not do this. He said goodbye to the team by writing a very simple message in just 3 words. Pant shared a story on Instagram and wrote, “Thank you team.”
