Rishabh Pant
In IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants may have won 5 out of 8 matches, but captain Rishabh Pant’s form remains a matter of concern for the team. Pant has been seen struggling to score runs this season. Except for the innings of 63 runs against Chennai Super Kings, in the remaining 7 matches, only 43 runs have been scored with Pant’s bat. These figures are obviously very bad for a batsman like Pant.
Rishabh Pant’s weakness in front
The next match of Lucknow Super Giants is against Delhi Capitals. The match will be played on 22 April at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. In this match, Pant would like to return to form by playing a big innings. But it will not be so easy for Rishabh. Actually, statistics show that Rishabh Pant has been struggling to score runs against spinners since 2024. Since 2024, Pant has been dismissed eight times against spinners in the IPL. He has scored 159 runs in 141 balls against spin bowlers during this period. Where his strike rate was 112.76 and average 22.52.
Delhi also has a great spinner in the form of Kuldeep Yadav who can bother Pant in this match. This season, he has scored just 32 runs from 45 balls against spinners, where his strike rate has been 71.11. The captains of all teams have now come to know about this weakness of Pant. In such a situation, they will have to come out of it as soon as possible to score runs. Pant has scored just 106 runs in 7 innings of 8 matches this season at a bad average of 15.14 so far.
It is necessary for LSG to win today’s match
If the team of Lucknow Super Giants has to remain in the playoff race, then it is very important for them to win the match against Delhi Capitals. Currently, LSG has 10 points with 5 wins in 8 matches and is at number five in the points table. Talking about Delhi Capitals, he has shown a great game this season so far. Delhi has played 7 matches so far, out of which they have also won 5. He is second in the points table with 10 points. At the same time, the team of Gujarat Titans is present at number one.
