File photo of Rishabh Pant© BCCI/IPL Rishabh Pant’s IPL 2025 campaign has been forgettable to say the least. He was picked at the IPL 2025 auction by the Sanjiv Goenka-owned Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore – the highest any franchise has paid for a player in the tournament’s history. But the star wicketkeeper-batter had his poorest IPL ever as he scored just 135 in 12 matches with an average of 12.27. LSG even failed to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs.  In the midst of this, a journalist posted on X: “Breaking News: LSG Most Likely To Release Rishabh Pant Ahead Of IPL 2026. LSG Management Feels 27 Crore Is Too Much.” Pant has reacted strongly to the observation.  “I understand fake News gives more traction To content but let’s not built everything around it . Little sense  and credible news will help more rather making fake news with  agenda . Thanks have a good day . Let’s be  responsible and  sensible what we put out on social media,” Pant said in …

BCCI Rejecting ‘MS Dhoni-Style Proposal’ Led To Rohit Sharma Retirement: Report

BCCI Rejecting ‘MS Dhoni-Style Proposal’ Led To Rohit Sharma Retirement: Report

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma wanted to travel to England for the five-Test series and retire midway just like Dhoni had done during the 2014 tour of Australia, according to a report by Sky Sports. However, the offer was rejected by the BCCI and that reportedly led to the decision to retire ahead of the series. “Selectors wanted consistency during the series and offered Sharma the opportunity to go to the series, but not as captain. He decided to retire instead,” the report claimed. Rohit stunned everyone with his decision to retire from Test cricket and Kohli followed suit just few days later. As a result, the BCCI selectors face a tough challenge to fill the void left by the retirement of the two stalwarts of modern cricket. The report further claimed that the BCCI selection committee held ‘informal talk’ with both Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant as potential candidates to succeed Rohit as the next Test captain.  The selection committee is expected to announce the squad for the England series around May 23 and although there …

Sanjiv Goenka Breaks Silence On LSG’s IPL 2025 Exit, Posts Intriguing Picture With Rishabh Pant

Published by Webster

Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka had big expectations from his franchise, especially after he managed to bring a marquee player like Rishabh Pant to the team. LSG had a headline-making mega auction last year that saw them rope in the wicket-keeper batter for a record-breaking fee of INR 27 crore. Despite possessing a batting unit comprising of top players like Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant, David Miller, etc. the franchise couldn’t finish in the last four. LSG had a glimmer of hope of reaching the knockouts but the defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday put them out of contention. As chatter around the franchise’s future plans, especially with regards to skipper Rishabh Pant, floods social media, owner Sanjiv Goenka poured his heart out, highlighting his learnings from the campaign. “It’s been a challenging second half of the season, but there’s much to take heart in. The spirit, the effort, and the moments of excellence give us a lot to build on. Two games remain. Let’s play with pride …

Rishabh Pant’s Big Excuse Behind LSG’s Poor Show In IPL 2025, Puts Blame On…

Published by Webster

Captain Rishabh Pant on Monday admitted it was difficult for his side to fill the void created by the absence of key bowlers as Lucknow Super Giants bowed out of the race to the Indian Premier League playoffs. LSG’s six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad here knocked them out of reckoning for a top-four finish, with the Pant-led side enduring a demanding campaign from their bowling squad, which was stretched thin. “Definitely it could have been one of our best seasons but coming into the tournament we had a lot of gaps, injuries and as a team we decided to not talk about that, but it became difficult to fill those gaps for us,” Pant told the broadcaster after their loss to SRH. LSG began the IPL with injuries to Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep and Mayank Yadav. While they signed Shardul Thakur after the season began and the likes of Avesh and Akash returned, Mayank could only feature in a couple of games before being ruled out due to an injury again. …

Rishabh Pant In Animated Chat With Umpire Over DRS Drama During LSG vs SRH Match. This Happens Next

Published by Webster

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant was involved in an animated chat with the on-field umpire during his side’s crucial IPL 2025 match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday. The incident happened in the third over of SRH’s chase after LSG players had appeal for a caught behind against Ishan Kishan. Despite the ball passing very close to the bat, the umpire didn’t raise his finger. However, there was a moment of confusion whether Pant took a DRS for caught behind or the batter took a review for a wide that was not given by the umpire. As a result, Pant had a long chat with the umpire, before it was later revealed that it was the LSG captain who took the review for a caught behind. However, ball tracking showed that there wasn’t any bat involved. LSG didn’t just lose a review, but the wall was also deemed wide as there was no contact. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram‘s blitzkrieg, along with Nicholas Pooran‘s finishing touches, powered LSG to 205/7 after …

“I Do Not Want Jasprit Bumrah To Be Made Captain…”: Ravi Shastri Blunt about His Two Picks For Test Captaincy

Published by Webster

Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri gave his take on India’s ongoing Test captaincy vacuum following the retirement of seniors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, suggesting two youngsters who could be groomed going forward. Shastri discussed the candidates to take over the captaincy with host Sanjana Ganesan on the latest episode of The ICC Review, urging selectors to prioritise the future and not burden India’s pace maestro Jasprit Bumrah with captaincy. “See, for me, Jasprit would have been the obvious choice after Australia,” Shastri said. “But I do not want Jasprit to be made captain and then you lose him as a bowler,” he added as quoted by the ICC. Bumrah has captained India in three matches so far, with their 295-run over Australia at Perth being a highlight. He has lost two of his other matches against England and Australia as captain, away from home. He cited Bumrah’s recent struggle with a back injury sustained in the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy match in Sydney. The 31-year-old was out of action for nearly three …
