Because it is the third offense of Lucknow Super Giants under the Code of Conduct related to the minimum over-perpetual offenses of IPL, the team captain Rishabh Pant has been fined Rs 30 lakh.

Whereas in this match with the impact player, the rest of the players of the playing XI personally have been fined Rs 12 lakh or 50 percent of their match fees (whichever less).

Captain’s century innings could not get LSG win

Rishabh Pant scored 269 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 with 24.45 average, which does not suit his price tag. He was bought by Lucknow for Rs 27 crore, it was expected that he would win the title to the team but his team was out of the league stage itself.
