Arya, Connolly six-hitting spree keeps Punjab Kings unbeaten streak intact as Lucknow Super Giants thrashed

SYNOPSIS: Punjab Kings’ power-packed batting unit comes up with an electrifying performance to bury Lucknow Super Giants and remain unbeaten It was quite a statement to make but said much about the confidence levels at which Punjab Kings have been operating since captain Shreyas and head coach Ricky Ponting came together. Much has been said about how the defending champions Royals Challengers Bengaluru have grown from strength to strength this season. The same holds true for Punjab, last season’s beaten finalists. So far this season, they have chased 200-plus totals effortlessly twice, and a target of 196 with 21 deliveries to spare. In that context, there was a crucial question. How will Punjab’s batting respond batting first. In a tournament in which teams have preferred to chase, setting a target brings its own share of challenges. From figuring out a par score to maintaining tempo throughout in pursuit of it and playing high-risk cricket without having to worry about what happens if they falter… there are endless situations that franchises confront. But try telling this …

Rishabh Pant’s Indian Premier League 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants is getting bad to worse. While the team did string up a few good results early season, Pant’s lack of form went under the radar; they have been struggling of late, and now the form of Pant has come under sharp focus. Chasing 236 runs against Punjab Kings on a good batting track, Pant on Sunday had the opportunity to play a knock of substance, but the runs did not manifest, and the way he got out was more concerning. Trying to hit a ball on the off-side, the bat slipped out of his hand and fell near the square-leg region, and the ball ended up as a simple catch, Shashank Singh in the ring. “I think, at this point in time, I’m feeling very sorry for him because he’s not been changing his batting order or his approach,” Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out. “I think he’s being pretty stubborn about how he wants to go about things. It’s not working in his favour …

PBKS remind Rishabh Pant about joke after IPL 2025 auction

PBKS remind Rishabh Pant about joke after IPL 2025 auction

Published by Webster

Rishabh Pant was reminded of a joke about the Punjab Kings by the team’s social media handle after Lucknow Super Giants’ eight-wicket defeat to the PBKS on Tuesday night. Pant was the most expensive pick of the Indian Premier League 2025 auction after the Lucknow Super Giants splurged a whopping Rs 27 crore on the wicketkeeper-batter. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings had secured the services of Shreyas Iyer for Rs 26.75 crore, thus making him the second costliest buy in the IPL mega auction. The IPL 2025 game between Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants thus became a referendum on the two most costliest picks of the IPL auction. And the Punjab Kings social media team, in particular, was chuffed that their skipper had come good with an unbeaten 52 off just 30 balls as the PBKS outfit chased down the target of 172 with 22 balls to spare. In contrast to Iyer, who has been in roaring form this season, Pant has struggled with the bat. The wicketkeeper has managed to score just 17 runs off …

Lucknow Super Giants slumped to their second defeat of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in their third game while leaves them in sixth spot in the IPL 2025 standings. For the LSG team, this latest loss was even more bruising as it came at Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket. The defeat also raised the scrutiny of the franchise which had opted to let captain KL Rahul walk away ahead of the IPL auctions. To replace Rahul, LSG bet big on Rishabh Pant in the IPL auctions, spending a whopping Rs 27 crore thus making him the most expensive player in the tournament’s history. On Tuesday, Pant’s stay in the middle against Punjab lasted just five balls where he managed to score just two runs. So is the weight of the massive price tag hanging heavy on his shoulders?

After Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) eight-wicket defeat to the Punjab Kings at home, LSG mentor Zaheer Khan slammed the pitch curator at Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium for the 22-yard strip. Batting first, the hosts LSG managed to score 171 runs which Punjab chased down with eight wickets in hand and 22 balls to spare. LSG captain Rishabh Pant admitted at the post-match presentation that they were expecting the pitch to be slower. But team mentor Zaheer went a step further with his comments. “What was a little disappointing for me here. Considering it’s a home game and in IPL you’ve seen how teams have looked at taking a little bit of home advantage, from that point of view you’ve seen the curator is not really thinking that it’s a home game. I think maybe it looked like, you know, it was Punjab curator out here,” LSG’s Zaheer said at the press conference. “So that’s something which we will figure. It’s a new set-up also for me, but I hope …
