Sourav Ganguly on Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant has recently been elected vice -captains of the Indian Test team. Now former India captain Sourav Ganguly has advised the new Vice-Captain. Pant has become a victim of criticism for playing his careless shots several times before, now Ganguly has given him important advice just before the Test series against England. Ganguly is also not happy with Pant’s shot selection in Australia and wants him to play responsibly in England.

Sourav Ganguly’s advice

In talks with Rev Sports, Sourav Ganguly said that he did not like Rishabh Pant’s shot selection in Australia. ‘Dada’ says that Rishabh Pant should focus on playing firmly instead of rotating the bat on each ball.

Sourav Ganguly said, “I did not like the game that Pant showed in Australia. He was trying to play a lot of shots. He was turning the bat on each ball, where the ball is moving, it is not a good way to play in such circumstances. They have to fight the fight.”

Rishabh Pant scored 576 runs in the year 2024 at an average of 36 by playing 9 Test matches. In the Test last year, he scored a century and 3 half -centuries. At the same time, he was able to score only 255 runs in 10 innings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. In these 10 innings, Pant was able to put only one fifty. It was also a note to be noted that he was caught out 8 times out of 10 due to playing bad shots.

The IPL 2025 season was not very good for Rishabh Pant as he scored 269 runs in 14 matches for LSG. Pant has been made vice -captain, but Dhruv Jurlel, who is going as a backup wicketkeeper on the England tour, is running in excellent form. As a wicketkeeper, Dhruv Jurael can also win the Test series against England.

Lsg owner sanjeev goenka: The biggest flop, laggard, 27 crores went waste, what people did not say for Rishabh Pant. The season of IPL 2025 has been very bad for Pant, in which he has been able to score only 135 runs in 11 innings so far. His poor form is also going on in the match against SRH, in which he has been dismissed for just 7 runs. The IPL 2025 data has proved an old prediction of Sanjeev Goenka (LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka).

Sanjeev Goenka predicted after purchasing Rishabh Pant for Rs 27 crore in the mega auction. He said, “I believe that Pant will continue to play for the next 12-15 years. People say that Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have achieved a lot of success. I also believe that Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have been the best players and captains. After 10 years, people will say, Mahi, Rohit and Rishabh.”

Prophecy proved to be false

Rishabh Pant got the captaincy of Lucknow Super Giants this time. His personal performance is not only fading but he has not been able to perform amazing as a captain. Where Sanjeev Goenka used to say that after 10 years, Pant must have become a very big superstar player, but this prediction seems to be proved to be false in the first year. It is also difficult for LSG to go to the playoffs.

In IPL, Rishabh Pant has played for Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. If we look at his captaincy records before the match against SRH, he captained Delhi Capitals in 43 matches, of which his team was victorious 23 times. At the same time, in IPL 2025, he has captained LSG in 11 matches so far, out of which his team has been able to register only 5 wins.

Sanjeev Goenka got a deal of 27 crore

In the mega auction, Lucknow Super Giants bought Rishabh Pant for Rs 27 crore and also made him the captain of the team. On the other hand, former LSG captain is KL Rahul, who was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 14 crore. Pant is ahead of Rahul in the case of IPL salary, but when it comes to performance in IPL 2025, Rahul is ahead of his compatriot cricketer. These figures will prove that the release of KL Rahul was one of the worst decisions of the Lucknow team.

In IPL 2025, Rishabh Pant has been able to score only 128 runs in 11 matches so far. His average is only 12.80 and has been able to put only one fifty throughout the season. On the other hand, KL Rahul has been in the race for Orange Cap for a long time. Rahul has so far scored 493 runs in 11 matches at an excellent average of 61.63.
